Front Parking Lights 49 CJ3A

[Tumbleweed]

The parking lights on my CJ look like Cadillac bumber bullets. They stick out too far in my opinion. I have seen so many variations that I don't know what was standard in 49. Anyone have a picture of the original parking lights? Greatly appreciated.

Without taking another photo and processing it, here is one I currently have on photobucket that is available to share with you now.  It consists of a clear plastic lens, a chrome bezel, and a cork gasket.  They are available at most vintage Jeep suppliers.  I got mine at willysoverland.com, 888-265-5337.  


There is a complete breakdown of the individual components on page 59 of the 1949 Willys-Overland Parts List - Jeep Models CJ-2A and 3A (available at many suppliers, also).  Scanned copy from that page is below:

Here is a pic of my replacements I got from Walcks.  I went ahead and got the headlight trim, parking light lenses and trim ring and the cork gasket from them.  Nice reproductions.

Mine look like Calvin's its a 50 3B, the bulb sockets were all rusted out so I bought a couple of LED lights with plastic frames, a liite filing and creativity and they mounted into the bezel just fine.

Once again, ya'll are great. Thanks.....
