Where do I find a good replacement headlight and turn signal bezel/housing? I have been told Ebay but I can't seem to locate such an item. I am also looking for front and rear bumper fillers too if they can also be located. Also, does anyone know what, if any, grill options/swaps there are available for 1978 Regals? Furthermore, I am considering a wheel upgrade. What do you think of chrome IROCs on a 78? 18 inch or 20 inch? How wide? Let me know if you or anyone you know have done such swaps. Thanks.
 
I've seen headlamp bezels pop up on Ebay once in a while, grilles too. You just have to keep checking. As far as grilles go, one from a '79 will fit, but the '78 is a much nicer looking piece in my opinion.

Parts for the 78 are hard to come by because exterior parts dont interchange. I know for a fact that the doors dont exchange. They have to be from a 78. Dont know if the 79 doors will work but the more popular gbody doors will not work. Bumper fillers are pretty easy to find. I see them on ebay all the time but there are other sources. Not sure about the grill but I am thinking they are not interchangeable because of the way the front is made. Maybe the 78 Monte. Bezels will need to be found on ebay or from a junk vehicle. This is where I got mine. I have an extra pair(I think) but I may paint a pair black so I want to keep the chrome ones just in case I dont like the black ones. 20x10 is the widest but it depends on the offset and tire size. For a good fitting wheel you will need a low offset or zero.
