Default Burst Headlight Trim Ring/ Anyone else install?
Last night I installed the New Daymaker LED lights and went with the new Burst Collection Trim ring. Unlike the other Harley Trim Rings the instructions say to remove OE trim ring. The Burst trim ring has a very small lip that is supposed to slip between the bezel and fairing. After a couple tries I got it to sit right and it seems secure. Just a bit worried it migh fall off as it is only depending on that small lip and bottom clamp screw to hold it in place. Curious if anyone else has encountered this

I have the Burst trim ring with the stock headlight. Been on for a couple months with no problems. If you can't pull it off by hand, it should be secure.

I installed one a few weeks ago and guess what? It fell off...I thought I had it screwed on tight. I guess I should have used blue loctite.

I've had one on for 500 miles and so far no problems.
