    I'd fill it with a flush rubber firewall plug .... probably be cheaper than JB Weld

    Yeah, I just realized I would need a bunch of those jb weld sticks to fill so many holes. Would be pricey. Gonna look into those plugs. I wonder if they would fit the holes though?

    Just a thought but Grote used to make 2 and 3 inch round reflectors with their own sticky tape. Whichever one covers the holes

    Stop by a welding shop, have them punch out some aluminum discs, and just weld them over the holes. Do it right the first time and never worry about that again. Stay away from any putty or fillers, will fail sooner or later. Or swap all the lights over to LED's, should last longer than your time behind the wheel.

    The discs aren't a bad idea. Make it look better than putty or worn out tape.
