Default Visor style trim ring?

I like the looks of the visor style headlight trim rings but looking at it, it shows a big gap around the headlight. So anyone who has them how does it look?

I put a set of truck lite headlight and passing lamps which filled the gap nice in my opinion.

That problem has been a source of irritation for a lot of us. Some guys have found ways to close the gap but I think the majority of us have just tryed to ignore it. The previous replies to this thread are the first I've heard of truck lite....have to learn more about them. Here is a picture of the headlight trim ring (and gap) on my 2002 RKC.

Its not just the visor rings. Its the Frenched trim rings as well. They have the exact same gap. At this point, I have gotten used to it, and it doesn't bother me.

I had the gap for about a year and then got smart. I actually removed the stock ring from under it and used some sticky rubber feet that I bought at Home Depot inside the visor to anchor it against the headlight bucket. No gap and it doesn't move.

Cool

I like it. Gives the front of the bike a nice finishing touch. Really improves the side view. Gap be damned.

Visor part number 69733-05
