Can someone post a picture with them on? I'm curious to see how the smaller led's that surround the projector look...

Thanks!

Yes, the lever to secure the light in place is very tight.. I found taking a dremel to the bottom latch indentation of the new light resolved the problem. The tolerance is too tight..
Prior to doing that it would snap hard and smash the projector into the top lens..

See link where others encountered the same.. my post is #141 http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/34492-remove-amber-film-headlights.html

Hope this helps
