    Has anyone installed these?

    Is it direct fit plug and play?

    My bulb sockets are rotten and I can't find a replacement.

    They are an exact same size as our Econo lenses. They mount differently is all. You can drill a couple of holes in the bezel and then use chrome screws to mount them.

    I installed a Speedway set in my '65. After about 9 months sitting outside, they are still in decent shape, but there are a few hints at chrome problems.

    Anyway, I installed them but cutting out the "frame" that the original Econo buckets bolted to, and drilled some new holes. That was about it. So, if you need the buckets or the frames, let me know
