installed buckets and headlight assembly ,then (after some experimenting) the trim ring with the rubber gasket .
one side slid on very nicely,but the other side is low and I was able to slide it on ,but it seems like it is not centered

so after reassembling a couple of times ,it seems like the repo headlight bucket is not the correct depth ,the headlight adjustable holder does not sit in as deep as the other side

Has anyone else seen this ?

For what its worth...had trouble with one of mine going in place. Turns out the wire clip at the top was just bent to much to fit and let the rim go where it needed. I changed the clips to some old ones I had kept and it worked fine. The new ones would not let the rim go "back" far enough.
Just a thought.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
