    Appears to be same color as portions of our 70 grills,but wondering what the closest color is for our parking lamp housings?

    Appreciate any guidance!:)

    Are you referring to the inside reflector or the wings of the lenses?

    I was going to do just the wings but apparently the whole housing of the parking lamp was originally clear and the silver added so i’ll probably have to paint both the housing and the wings now that I think more about it.

    Wings = aluma-blast. Eastwood makes some, there are others of the same name, though.
    Inside of the housing ....I use rustoleum chrome paint.

    Was a black adhesive used on the gasket or is that just packed in grime around the grey gasket?

    The gasket was/is a rubbery spongy gray material...no goop.

    The reproduction are just foam...not remotely close to OE...Sparvar dull aluminum lacquer is my favorite if you can find it
