Not the first. Not the 2nd or 3rd.......maybe not even 4th. But finally installed the Orion V4. Only to find out that the inner ring are the wrong size. Thanks Simon for pointing it out. I got 9x rings instead of the 8x rings. Which caused a bit of a problem installing them. During the test fit, the lens wouldn't fit. Turns out the top of the ring is preventing the lens to fit. I trimmed the bottom shroud so the ring can recess. Even with the trimming, it wouldn't sit 100% Had to force the lens together with vise grips. Glue them on. Couldn't make the gap at the bottom. (6 o'clock position) Wire is in the way preventing the lens to fit. So I had to offset it. Well what's done is done. Not too bad. On with the pics. Car is a bit dirty.

Under direct sunlight.



Off position. Color matched the Xenon surround for a subtle change.







Some visible gap on the inner ring. John@Motorcepts said the gap is still visible but not as bad as V2. Here is a pic showing how they look up close. Shot it a bit underexposed to show how they look.



A few pics with my Europlate.
