Greg,
Welcome aboard.
I have not seen the billet parking light frames, but I doubt if they are
that close to the original ones. Original ones can be found if you are
patient and willing to pay big $$$. Keep in mind that the frames, lens,
and back plates/sockets are unique left to right side. Also the sockets
came in single contact (no turn signals) and dual contacts (with turn signals).
Good luck,
Jim V.
