I see them on ebay all the time.
Kirban has the parking light covers, item # 1574 for $20 + shipping. They're the ones on my car in the photos in my sig. As far as the headlight covers, I know gbodyparts.com used to have them but I can't find them on their site now. Same thing with Poston's too.
Head light covers
We are actually working on a more modern style lower bumper marker/turn signal light.
The newer cars do not have the egg crate look of the 80's. We have come up with a cover that will allow you to remove the amber or clear lens on the light. Then install an exact fit cover. Easily just glued on to your old housing.
It will be in clear,amber & the correct smoked black not the brown look.
The problem with the other covers we carried is you needed after market screws & covered your trim lens. They also had the problem of looking thru & seeing the old amber lens which also cut down on the amount of light that is allowed to show thru.
The new units you will look thru & see the chrome backing on the housing. If you use clear then you can chose an Amber bulb. If you like the amber look but are tired of the egg crate it will give a cleaner look.
On the headlight covers we came up with a simple solution that you will not have an F channel attached to your WAY HI PRICED headlight bezels.
It will use 2 screws that go through the same hole as your bezel mounts with.
Next we are working on clear & red tail lights
Pictured below is a smoked light with amber original bulbs. Looks a little off because of the flash & being indoors.
Second picture is no flash.
3rd pic is no flash.
I'll have a lot better pics & a cleaner car when we get them up on the site but this gives you an idea.
The cost on these will be half of what the others are.
Also thinking about building a complete assemblly. Kicking Myself in the but for the amount of broken & cracked Bumper marker lights I have thrown away over the years!

I'd actually prefer to keep all the lights on my car "period correct" (that is, if they used the egg crate lenses I'll keep it that way). I think they look great as is with or without covers. The only exception I would make is maybe if there were a non-egg crate Amber lens that you could not see the bulbs or inside of the housing through, and it was equipped with LED lighting. I would never ditch the stock lights on any American car or truck to put Euro-style lights in. I have a friend with a T-Type that has the egg crate marker lights in the bumper, but they're clear instead of amber. They look really good, especially since his car (and the bumper) is silver.
