Euro light Questions

[Roa, Greg]

Kenny, did you get new mounting brackets to go with the euros you got?  The euro's require a different set of brackets to fit, so if you didn't get those, you may run into problems.  They should be exactly the same between the coupe and your 4kq.
I went out and measured the gaps on my lights.  The total gap between the hood and the top of the light is about 1".  This is divided by the black plastic trim piece you should have, which is about 1/3" thick.  This leaves you with a 1/3" gap between the top of the light, and the trim piece.  There is a similar gap on the bottom of the light, and it is divided the same way, by a plastic trim piece.  Both of these trim pieces were on my car originally, and had nothing to do with the euros.
Looks pretty darned good with them if I do say so myself.
Let me know if there is anything else I can check on for you.
