Not sure of the change over but you are correct the early housings had the bulb fixtures moulded as a one piece unit using the clear lense material for the whole assembly...They were prone to heat problems and at some point were changed over to a more heat resistant set-up using an insert with different grade of plastic at the bulb. Here's a pic of the revised assembly...

Some C bodys had the same light...they're getting tough to find now...The chrome bezels outlast the lenses in most cases...The lense would be a perfect repop item but with the current downswing of the hobby I doubt if they'd ever be made at this point so NOS or used it is...




I have one which is just missing the aluminum cover and little switch handle. Anybody got one that they don't need.
