Title: Dimensions for Vigilite/lamp monitoring system headlamp socket seal 3906125
Post by: bowtie68iho on February 17, 2022, 07:06:51 PM

Does anybody have original headlamp socket seals (P/N 3906125, Group 2.584) for the Vigilite/Lamp Monitoring System that they can give me the dimensions?  Attached, is a photo of them.  The repros appear to be foam sleeves; whereas, the original ones appear to be rubber sleeves.  With the original dimensions, someone can find a rubber sleeve or hose and then trim it to fit.

Check Paragon Corvette parts - they have lots of parts for the Vigilite system.

I just used a rubber hose that held the fiber in place and over the rear tip on the headlamp - maybe 1" long.

For the fiber optics on my corvette I used a piece of rubber vacuum hose which would slide over the tit on the headlamp bulb.

For true originality, it is better to get the exact dimensions (inner and out diameter, length, thickness, material type, etc.) of an original or NOS seal, if possible.  Hopefully, someone can chime in with the dimensions.

If you google the part number you‘ll see plenty of the Corvette repros to compare:

The repros (at Corvette vendors) appear to be foam sleeves; whereas, the original ones appear to be rubber sleeves.
