I put the billet headlight shell on mine using the original headlight. It's pretty tricky to get the logo straight but it can be done. Took me #@!$*** ages to fit it properly but I love the result.

Sorry didn't answer sooner I was away for the weekend! Anyway, back to the headlight. It's very hard to get the trim off without damaging it. In the instructions, it says you should use two pennys and gently lever them side to side. I tried this but damaged the trim! [:@] I then used two plastic screwdrivers and a lot of patience. DO NOT use ordinary screwdrivers, use some thing made out of hard plastic. Be very careful as this will take you a long time. Then once you line it up and put it back in, it's in! You don't want to be trying to take it off again! God help me if I ever have to change my headlight bulb! If you want, I can try to find the instructions and give you more word for word instructions.
