Hi

I’ve purchased a set of second hand headlight rings with wiper guide.
Each ring is numbered 1 to 4 could anyone help in what order they are supposed to be fitted, please?

Thanks in advance

These are the part numbers - do they appear on the rings?

63121370891 Hi Left
63121370892 Hi Right
63121385593 Lo Left
63121385594 Lo right

I sold some a while ago - and yes numbered 1-4 and the position is important for the wipers to sit at rest.

I just positioned the guides where the both wipers stopped on each lamp... :o:
