The rubber can only go one way but I noticed the new trim rings are bent a touch different in that the edge by the headlight were the rubber slips on .(is not curled over as much) .I managed to fit them on using some wd40 on the rubber but the new clips were not lined up to fit the screw in the bottom and when I pulled the ring off to readjust the clip they all came off ,the aftermarket clips don’t seem to clip the rubber very well so I am going to use the origional clips after I give them a rust bath and shoot a bit of paint on them .One of those things that you think will take a half hour but is turning into about 4 hours .
