52 headlight bezels on a 50? Will it work?

[old-idaho-iron]

I know it wouldn't be stock,but I like the look of a 52 headlight bezel with it's "smiley face" park light more so then the round park light on a 50,but will a 52 bezel fit on a 50 fender,as long as you used the 52 headlight buckets along with the 52 bezels?

'52 Champion or Commander will fit on a '50 Champion, but not on a '50 Commander. In fact, the very early '52's still used the headlight doors with the round parking lights. When the "smiley face" parking lights were introduced, for whatever reason, there were two different lenses and each required its own specific bucket.

Thanks for the info Rockne.

I have 1952 N.O.S buckets for sale with parking lenses head light bulb (smooth face , no nibs) and wiring harness.
$95.00 each in original sealed factory boxes. No rims.
These can easily converted to the 1950/51 style.

50 Commander headlight rings only fit 50 Commander and Land Cruiser - nothing else.

50 Champion rings will fit on 51 and 52 fenders with the correct/appropriate headlight buckets.

50 Commanders are unique.
