    correct color of the lamp and horngrill seals

    I have seen rubber inlay lamp seals for the SWB lamps front and rear in different colors: off-white, light grey and black. The ones that came off my cars in deteriorated state also showed different colors.
    Were all of these factory used or is there only 1 correct original color? Different for front and rear?

    Same question for the horn grill: what color seal is required?

    Txs Jim.
    I decided to buy the light horn grill seals from Soterik, I have not seen any other colors for that.
    For the lamp seals I am still in doubt as I also have seen (deteriorated) black, light grey as well as off-white.

    Anyone can help shed a light on this?
    Txs, Jacques

    No knowledge, but some observations:
    Based on the vast majority of a number of highly restored swb cars I've seen, I believe the 'light grey' are correct for swb.
    (That's also what I found on my original light units). Found AFS (Erik's) to be the best. Hope that helps.
