I installed my headlights today. I re-used the rubber gaskets i had. Fitting those to the back of the headlights is pretty staight forward. Then the lights attach with 4 pan head screws. I bought new plastic trim rings from AR. They have tabs that snap into cutouts in the headlights' recess panel. At first, they appear too large, BUT by working around the ring and fitting one tab at a time they went! I didnt need those trim ring retainers. The chrome rings are held in place by ridges and a single screw at the bottom.wizard124 wrote:Maybe the tabs are PO thing? My lights are going back on today, with new rings. I'll find out whether or not I need those tabs...azruss wrote:I got new plastic rings from AR. warmed them up and they snapped right into place. I dont have the metal tabs either. Ive never seen those before.

You just got to laugh at things that happen at times.
I know it not funny at that time of things happening, but after

The hose will end up for a drinking hat. The only thing we don't know is what will be in the container.

Hey, at least it wasn't one of the rear wheels with your two daughters in the backseat and one of them asking "Hey Daddy, isn't that our wheel?" Ahhh, such fond memories........4uall wrote:As some of you may or may not know this happened http://forum.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtop ... 15&t=25124
Thinking this was resolved I went out for a nice drive on a beautiful day, only to have this fall off and roll under the car beside me at the red light. WTF!
