Oh are they, yea I haven't had them for awhile.

No big deal, if you happen to walk by 97/98 jprevat, pillage a little lol. Shoot they fall out so easy, the trucks at the yard might not have any.

I'm refurbishing the interior, - I believe carcrazy is doing something to his as well..Crap, mine needs allot help lol.

Good luck finding the correct insert.

Sometimes it sucks owning a 97/98. Mine is an early 97 (manufactured in 6/96) and it has a couple of anomalies. I have the screw ball headlights. To swap to to my Lightning headlights, I have to swap out the header panel. Then my A/C condenser and such is all odd ball.

Ah I mean I've never removed one from one of these trucks before but I would assume that I could. The reason I asked is cause it looks like it should just slide out the front is that not the case? I didn't wanna go pulling at it and break something lol. But I assume the headlights and corner lights would come out, then the screws under the cover? How does the shell attach to the finder's?
