It's easiest when you have a Midas on which you can remove the eyebrows. Standard factory was that they were fastened with a nut, but on quite a few cars they were glued to the body. This might complicate things a bit. But if they are removed, install the light on the ring (it should fit one way thanks to some indents) and fasten with the 3 small clips. Remove the butterfly nuts (don't loose the springs) and install it to the body (3 bolts, 3 holes). Then install rings and fasten the butterfly nuts. Not fully tight but leave space for adjustment. Find a wall and adjust the headlights by loosening and fastening the butterfly nuts. When you're done install the eyebrow. Piece of cake really. Only adjusting the lights may be time consuming.

I just ordered and paid for 11 sets of 7inch headlamp rings. I'll let you know when they arrive so I can make arrangements for shipping to the interested people.

Good news, I just received a box with 22 7 inch rings from Morette.
Only problem is that they won't fit in an envelope, so shipment from Holland to the UK will be in a box and that costs 9 euro.

I paid 358,26 euro for the batch including shipping, so they cost 32,57 euro per pair. With shipment from me to you will be then 41,57 euro in total (if paid via Paypal tick the box "gift" or else add 5% for the Paypal fee).
For the people who wanted a pair, if they make the payment via paypal to hans.efde@hccnet.nl I can send them coming monday.

Alan, I'll contact you via pm concerning your shipment, because I have to check if your package stays within the weight limit.

You're welcome Barry. It was a nice internet challenge finding these rings. I just posted the box to Alan, so he should have them in 1 tot 2 weeks. Hope your car sails through the MOT.
