They are a bit rare!

I have a '67 C77 and lucked out finding a NOS headlight bezel on eBay.

Keep searching, keep watching, and something might come up.

(After the snow melts and I can get into my storage shed, I will check and see if I have any parts on my "parts bike".)

I'm assuming you mean that you need the headlight itself, not the trim ring or the metal housing (bucket). If so, do you need the sealed beam version or the type with the replaceable headlight and parking light bulb socket? A new old stock sealed beam type is available from an ebay seller in the U.S. now. If you need the other type, you'll have to watch ebay and be patient, unless a member outside the U.S. as one to spare. Also, try searching Buyee, a Japanese auction site.

Please be a little more specific about what you need for the tail light - the bracket, housing and lens, or?

Hi thanks for quick replies,sorry should of been more specific yes its the complete unit with the bezel also,i have the bracket for the rear light and backing plate but the reflector and bulb holder is rusted through and no lens at all
Bora da casamere yes did see that one and yes it is expensive,i missed one for $75 a while ago iand then theres postage and the rip off customs man,so i will wait as it will be a few more months till shes ready
maybe when we make this Brexit trade deal with USA prices will go back to how they were when i could buy a set of HD forks for half what they are now
Thanks guys all the best Chris

Label me a heretic but my Dream's a daily rider, so when the stock square bulb finally burned out its remaining filament, I simply bought a standard automotive sealed beam and fabbed up a plastic ring (square on the outside/round on the inside, cut from he bottom of a plastic bucket) to mount the sealed beam. Total cost was about ten bucks. Works great.

Somewhere here there's a post by someone who carefully cut the burned out bulb from a square light and soldered in a new bulb or socket.
