    Are you looking for just the lens, or the whole bucket assembly? The lens show up on ebay from tine to time.

    Did an eBay search and found a lens for $60 and a trim ring for $35. Every now and then they show up as mentioned above.

    I FIXED UP MY HEADLIGHT BUCKETS FOR MY 39 ROADSTER PROJECT WITH A BALLOON AND SOME EPOXY I INSTALLED THE BALLOON IN THE BUCKET WHILE ON THE BENCH I JUST COATED THE BALLOON AFTER I CLEANED UP ALL THE OLD RUST FROM THE BUCKET YOU CAN NOT TELL THEM FROM A NOS BUCKET UNLESS YOU USE A MAGNET I COULD HAVE GROUND THEM SO THEY WERE SMOOTH BUT I SAW NO NEED TO DO THAT AS THESE WILL NEVER BE SEEN AFTER THEY ARE INSTALLED

    I guess I need the light assembly itself. My head lamps are the super beetle conversion type and I have one original ring and lense and in the process of purchasing another ring. But the light assembly would be what I need. Not sure how they were made back then.

    Have you tried Donald Axelrod? 35 Timson St, Lynn, MA 01902, PH: 781-598-0523; hdlthqtrs@aol.com . He'll probably want to sell you the complete assembly (bucket, reflector, glass, trim) but you could always ask.
