I am looking for a set of headlight bezels to suit a 10AE. So far I have had NO success. I therefore turn to you for some help. I have tried here in OZ plus UK. Any leads would be of help.

I have a set (4) for sale off my 8B. But I think the 8A and 8B head/taillights are a tad different, maybe?

Yes they are different. I can get them to fit a 8B but the headlights on 8A are just that bit different. What a bugger!!

If you can no longer find the NB8A headlight bezels, maybe you should consider the Garage Vary Eyelids as an alternative.

We have a set of those NB8A ones that we were going to mould however they would work out at about $300 per set unpainted so figured it would be too much money and they wouldnt sell..

You could get them vacuum moulded for just a few dollars.
Even the mould itself shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars.
If you're injection moulding them, then the mould would cost thousands, but it looks to me that they could be just vac formed our of ABS or similar material.
