Headlight covers are provided within the kit for the main dim-dip headlight units. The Perspex covers fit within a rebate in the bonnet moulding. Stainless steel self-tapping screws retain the covers.

Assembly

The perspex headlight covers provided in the kit are already cut to size and shape. A small amount of sanding of the edges maybe required to make them fit precisely into the bonnet rebate. Stainless steel screws as per the rear screen can be used to locate the headlamp covers into the bonnet.

However a number of customers have fixed their headlamp covers in with black self tapping screws The perspex covers come pre drilled and the holes in the covers can be used to locate the fixing holes into the panel. This is done by putting a pilot drill through the existing hole in the perspex cover, removing the cover and drilling through a clearance hole in the glass fibre bonnet section or if using self tappers the right size hole for the self tapper being used.
