I need to replace the chrome frame for my cornering light (has the turn signal encased in it as well as parking lights) on my 1973 Cadillac Deville. I believe it's called a "cornering bezel." Would anyone know where to get ahold of this piece besides e-bay or my local junkyard(I checked already)? Thanks!

We never did set up the trip out there. Where is it located again?

Have you had no luck finding a good one on EBay? There always seems to be at least 2 or 3 of 'em listed. Or do you just want to see it in person first?

@68Coup. Man maybe I'm blind but I couldn't find one on e-bay! Would it be listed as a cornering bezel? I don't need to see it in person but I wouldn't mind seeing a pic, even it's a horrible blurry one even just to make sure it's the right piece I'm thinking of.
@Dopestar. Where's your junkyard? Is there a 73 Caddy Deville sitting there as we speak?

Unfortunately for you being a Utah resident, mine's in New Jersey. Shoulda stayed in NY huh? Joking pal. they'll ship a piece out to you if you want. I saw an early 70's DeVille there but there's just one. I'm pretty sure the turn signals are there too. I posted the phone number in a thread I started called "Caddy Parts, One Hell of a Find" in this forum. See if you can dig that thread up.
Dave: Washington, NJ off Route 57. PM me for details and possibly an escort.

@Dopestar. "Unfortunately for you being a Utah resident, mine's in New Jersey. Shoulda stayed in NY huh?" No kidding. I ask myself that every day. Then I remember how crowded NY is (I friggin' hate traffic). Not to mention expensive! I'm a poor b@stard.
I'll try to find that thread. Thanks for the info. Just so I don't sound like an idiot if I call or write, do you know if that part is called the "passing bezel?"

The part you're looking is called a cornering lamp bezel or cornering light bezel.
If you can find a Hemming's Motor News, there are lots of Caddy vendors listed there. The only ones I have heard of is Honest John's in Texas and dBaer's Cadillac Ville. Have never dealt with either but I use dBaer's web site for parts id.

I haven't really compared prices to them but you might want to check around before you buy. http://www.cadillacville.com/
