Hi so this weekend i took the headlight rings off to spray them satin black but never looked at how they fit!! 2 of them have small holes in them, are they for the outter lights with the projectors or the inner ones?

Secondly, are them holes supposed to line up to anything?

Cheers

Yes they will only fit one way, the slots in the rings need to be located on the relevant lugs on the edge of the lamps first, then press the rings on all the way round.
If it ain't broke..
Fix it till it is :)

Are the slotted ones for the outter ones or the inner lamp? I guess the other rings with no slots will just push straight down without lining up?
