# P4120806 tinted and #P4286599 clear Headlight covers for 1979 - 1983 L Body

John,
Yep, those are the ones.....and very hard to find.

Thanks for the P/N's.  I was wondering if DC ever offered the covers for the "new" style side-by side headlamp Rampage, Turismo, Charger, etc.  Now I know that either PN 4286820 or 4286821 would be my answer.

It "looks" like factorymoparparts.com has both generations of covers available, although I have not tried to place an order.

Steve,
You really gave me hope with your link. I just called them and they do not have either number and both show as discontinued.
This is what I have been running into for a couple of years.
Maybe one day I'll get lucky  .

Too bad about the pre-'84 covers.  When I double-checked the website, I noticed that the price of those covers was only $6.  That's probably a sign that they didn't have any.

I just placed an order for the "late model" '84 and up covers through the website.  I'll see how it plays out.

Steve.

Yeah, The $6 thing did seem a little wacky. Good luck with yours.

Just heard back from them..... No Longer Available.

At least I have the right Part #'s.

Try e-bay or some of the 2.2 Dodge forums.   John

John,
Been there done that many times on both eBay and the Turbo dodge boards and still no luck.
As I said in a previous post, these Direct Connection headlight covers are scarce as hen's teeth (LOL) and I am still looking for a set.

Were they a moulded piece or just a fabrication from flat plastic? If the latter, would it be possible to build exact duplicates that would meet specs for tech?

Here's a thread showing another Shelby Charger LSR racer.  Sharp looking car.

Back in the late '80's, I had a pair of tinted headlight covers for my Dodge 024 (same headlights as Shelby).  They were the JC Whitney version, made from flat plastic, and secured with small sheet metal screws. 

I'd like to see a pair of the Direct Connection covers up close to see how they are attached (special brackets?)

[jpm49c]

Says: They were molded acrylic  and featured extruded rubber edge that seals tight against leakage with built in quarter turn fasteners

JPM - do you have a copy of the DC/MP catalog?  If so, can you tell if the headlight covers for the '84 and ups are curved (#P4286820 or P4286821)?

Thanks,

Steve.
