    What would be the correct finish for the headlight bucket? Zinc or galvanized plating ,painted or just raw pot metal?

    Mine are zinc coated, I think. They are a flat silver color which I'm pretty sure is stock since they still have the factory 12V stencils on them.

    Don't mind at all, but I am heading out of town early tomorrow morning for the weekend. I'll be back Tuesday and will get you one then. Sorry for the delay.
