The chrome surrounds are used for mounting the lights and holding the lenses in.
 
The complete light should look like this.

 
If you have a million dollars then there are some new parts avaliable here.

If you are unsure about which parts are the long lights and which are the short im happy to take the time and let you know which is which.
 
And one chrome surround listed within the trim section.

good links mate ty,
no million here
the ones in japan look the goods and good price,
how can i buy those need to translate page right,
 
the ones in jap are long right?
the ones on abouttime are short?
the surround is short?
 
may be worth considering the about time set as they are new old stock,
are they complete with surround and lenses?
thanks heaps.

Youll have a hell of a time even with the chrome frame base making them work without metal base surround theyll leak everytime and collect moisture then rust. My mates Darren, Brett and his father had over 30 early / late b10s they used to collect to sell to students in the 80s and 90s who needed cheap cars from Bundoora Uni to cheap accomodation in the northen suburbs and had his opinion on them.  They felt with the long tailights often had rusted on one of the corners due to their longer length and seal not been as sturdy as the short ones across the longer distances hence the frames are very hard to find without rust or even NOS are depleted. Datsun 1600 tailights rectified this by better sealing and the cast base construction was stiffer thicker in edges.  So if you think you can duplicate the steel surround that the whole assembly sits on then your guys must be absolute metal masters than can replicate all the correct angles, flaring, tapering and distances required like a stamping machine from factory. Maybe Dundee or someone else can spare you a rear tailight panel section of a late b10 then you can get the 560aud pair and work out that it will cost around 7-800 in the end fitted.
