Bezels.

Super helpful, thanks.

Those look to be in great shape.

Easily restored!

Besides headlight and wiper switch I’ve got them for the lighter and rear window. I believe they were used on the rear window defroster blower.; however, I’m using mine for my wagon’s rear power window

Remove, clean (toothbrush + dishsoapy hot water), dry, polish (plastic polish), clean (alcohol), restore lettering (Wite-Out), scratch extra Wite-Out off surface of bezel when it's set enough to sink into the letters but before it's hard-dry (fingernail or edge of credit card), shoot 'em with satin clear to make them easy to clean and chip-proof the white lettering, then reinstall.

Nice! Those rings look like almost-new.

Those are '66 Valiant knobs, but they don't look bad.

These were on the car when I bought it in 1994. What do 65 knobs look like?

'65 and '66 Valiant and Barracuda use the same wiper and headlight switch knobs. Darts and other models are different.

Oh, wait, sorry, my brain slipped a cog and I thought you were working on a '63, which used those black rings but had the wiper and light switches stacked rather than side-by-each like that. THose are correct '65 knobs.
