'I've yet to see.....', -- actually, there is one ... 200

I'm still skeptical that the truck bezels would work perfectly with the single-rounds in the 240s. Kane and tjts1 had to use an L-bracket when they were mounting their headlights. Presumably, the Volvo trucks needed no such addition--there were already the proper holes in place that lined up perfectly with the headlight buckets, which were matched to the bezels.

My concern is in having to fabricate something for the 240s. More than likely, the buckets don't line up the same as they do in the trucks (the only way one could be reasonably sure is if no L-bracket is needed!). Thus, the bezel wouldn't fit either.

However, I've never seen these bezels myself. I have no personal experience with using them, and by no means am I trying to discourage anyone from giving them a shot in a conversion. They very well might line up with the lights, even though one has to add the L-bracket to mount the headlight buckets. I hope someone will be daring enough to try this conversion using these parts one day--the high price of the truck bezels is almost certainly the single limiting factor so far.

Ken, is there any chance you could post a picture of the truck bezels online? I've never seen what they look like, and likely neither have other Brickboarders. Seeing them might encourage someone to take a chance and buy them from you, too!
