Hey there, I'm trying to install the headlamp visor trim and having a hell of a time. I can't seem to get the bottom where it screws togeather uhm well togeather. I get left with 1/2 gap and am worried I will strip the threads if I try harder. Does anyone have experience/tips with these things.
Thanks

They are a bugger. I had the same problem. I put mine on and left the gap, then a few days later I would tighten it up a little more as the visor had time to "bend" into shape. I repeated this for a while until it got pretty close. Did the same with the passing lamps. I still have a little bit of a gap, but not too bad

 

Get an extra body to grip the ring on both sides and squeeze it together while you tighten it. I did mine like that and the gap ended up being very minimal.

 

Thanks folks, I guess I was mistaken when I thought something with only one screw would be easy to put on
Have to trythose thingswhen I get home

I had more trouble with the passing lamps. The headlight seemed to 'snap' in place. You're right about getting another set of hands though....it did help.

I installed one only removing it after I disliked it. Anyways the instructions say to loosen the stock ring so the other one will get behind the lip. Maybe that will help??

 

had same problem had to play with headlamp adjustment scews a little still have slight gap.

Ditto what Creepshow said.
I had the same issue. What I did was leave the stock ring loose until I got the trim ring seated behind it. Tightened the stock ring then the trim ring. There is no gap.

 

This method works and if ya look at the instructions (which I never do) that's exactly what it says to do. Check out the close up in my gallerty, no gap!

 

I had the same problem and finally figured it out by trial and error , had no instructions with my rings since I bought 'em from a guy on e-bay. Probably would'nt have read 'em anyways , more fun to cuss and have another beer !
