    and they dont fit,i had a set here a while ago that someone left here

    best bet is to take them apart,2pac the insides as i have and be done with it

    Another option is to plastic chrome them,but be aware,in the near future,they will turn yellow

    Gonzo was making them, moulded from the original inserts. Was pointed out in his thread that the high beam lense was a different shape to the insert- The lense is square ended, whereas the inserts allowed for a rounded off edge lense. Still a good fit, and gave the 2K spec look without the $2G price tag (minus the xenon of course..... and the additional wiring required)

    If you examine closely, there are gaps here and there, but from a normal distance and see it overall, they look fine, and give a modern look to the lights without the $2k price tag...

    And so far I've noticed no problems with the lighting

    inserts

    I was making these for awhile.
    But people where not sure about the gaps around the light but to me they just fine.

    So the moulds where thrown out sorry I can't help you out with these any more.
