Default where can i find good 911 parts?

Some of these parts I've seen are so expensive..
I am looking for a few things for my 74 911 ..
Most importantly, I need headlight buckets, the rings, the body pieces that surround the headlights.
Where is a good place to start? The headlights are the first thing people see!
If someone has something like that on here please let me know.
Top dollar, name your price, I need these this next week..
The rest of the list can come later..

Feel free to send me a message here..

Those are H1s. While ~30 years ago you could pick them up anywhere for $150/ea. (H4s were $150/pr.), those are only going to be installed on the most collectible or the collectibles that will never see a mile of road duty.

If I'm reading this correctly, you need to repair rusty buckets to which the headlights attach? Whole different level of repair. As far as US headlights, and chrome or painted rings, they're everywhere starting at free. I've probably got 10 pairs in my junk parts warehouse, to be rediscovered years from now whenever I bother to catalog everything.

Read that eBay listing more closely - that's not a set for $1400, the seller wants $1400 for each headlight.

I don't understand your posting either. When someone says they need headlight buckets, that usually means the sheet metal behind the actual headlight, which is welded to the fender.

If that headlight listing is all you need, then you are probably looking for headlights and trim rings. Not buckets.
