    I've got a 38' Buick which I would like to convert the headlights over to the round sealed beam headlight. (Alls I have are the headlight buckets). The rings are approx 8 3/8" I think 37/38' Chevy's are the same unit. I'm not versed in GM stuff as well as I am in Fords.

    Is there anyone making the trim ring & sealed beam holder which fits into the stock bucket? Any help is appreciated.

    I can't help you find these, but I can bump this back to the top! Hope you find the parts you need.

    This won't really help much but.......years ago I found a sealed beam conversion "kit" at a swap meet for my 38 Chevy and converted from a 12 volt bulb to a sealed beam, yeah it works fine but I never liked the appearance of it but.... I did a search and came up with this:
