Shitty pictures, but the rings do fit in the LCI cluster. Clear lens fits perfect. Second picture looks like it doesn't fit because the edge I cut is missing. Once I'm done I'll seal up the edges with black sealant.

Awesome DIY, but unless I find someone who's done it several times before to do it for me there's no chance of me getting it done!

Ace pictures too.
