Hi Carl,

I mean the mounting "hardware". Nuts, bolts, screws, washers, and brackets. As I said before, I don't know if the trim rings are chromed or what. What I DO know is that side-by-side the difference cannot be distinguished.

I do not believe that the "MSA" type of lenses will fit inside the "JDM" trim ring.

Yes, headlight covers could be purchased in America by part number. I do not think the dealers ever installed them as they are / were illegal in most States. The last year for headlight covers on imported cars in the USA was 1967. '67 Jaguar XKEs and Alfa Romeo Duetto imports had headlight covers. They did not in 1968.

Hear are some pictures for you all

Merry Christmas Chris

More pictures of these can be found in my gallery as well

Well now I am forced to come up with something because some how my dog got into the box and ATE!! one of my trim rings. So hls30.com thats what I was thinking. Do you think using the door edge guard will work? I will buy some and let you know how it works out and Ill try to post some pics. Chris

It will fit on the aftermarket covers, and probably look better than the black they typically come with-depending on the color of your car...

I might have to try a set as well-the narrower chrome ring may look better.

hmmm.. how does one know for certain they are JDM original equipment? Mine are good aftermarket ones from Datsun Spirit, and they look just like those in the pics.

Is there something etched on the plastic or other markings?

Does Datsun Spirit still exist? I can't find them anywhere... I guess I should let this go. My boyfriend already bought the MSA ones for me for Christmas. Anyway, they are gorgeous. I wish I could have found them.

That is what my friend tells me as well....he should be back on the 3rd of January or something like that.

I have a set of headlight covers & trim rings, but no mounting hardware. I'd like to mount them with the factory style mounting plates. Could someone with a set of the original mounting hardware please post the dimensions of one of the eight metal mounting plates that screws to the headlight bucket - length, width, & thickness?

Thanks!

I'll see about getting the dimensions for you, but hardware pics are on my gallery if that helps.

Will

Thanks, Will. I checked the pictures but would still like the dimensions, if possible - especially thickness. I appreciate the help.
