Heads up for those contemplating the purchase of an Emgo Headlamp Shell.
After cleaning my original headlamp warning lights (red, orange, & green) I thought I'd fit them to the new headlamp shell I bought.
The original Lucas had been left out in the weather and was badly corroded.
Re chroming was going to be two or three times the price of a replacement.
Wouldn't you know it.
The warning lights are a sloppy fit.
Could it be Maybe metric (diameter) creeping in?
Building up the collar with insulation tape doesn't work.
It won't slide in to the shell due to a high spot.
I should have bit the bullet and restored the original shell.
By the way, these holes perfectly accommodate the Emgo warning lights.
Emgo deviated from the original warning light design, the lens being prouder from the chrome bezel.
For this reason they don't appear authentic.
