|  Headlight buckets?
Can't seem to find buckets fo rthe Proline XJ body's headlights. I read the tamiya YJ buckets work but can't seem to find them anywhere for sale. Could someone point me in the right direction? Plenty of round headlight buckets and lenses to be found but no rectangular? |

Even using the metal/chrome tape you can find at most dollar stores would work for reflecting the light.

I am thinking of moding a couple of door peep holes or garden hose screens for my jeep head lights, maybe this might give you some ideas.  |

You could use the "tip" end of a magic marker. Just cut to length and remove the tip. Paint the inside chrome or silver and your good to go.

Ram Rc lights makes a rectangular set just not sure of the model #. I used them on a K5 build let me try and find it. Round light buckets are a dime a dozen guys read the intial post  |
