F*CK. Oh well. I have another set of LCI headlights. I guess I'll buy them and put Orion V4 (right size this time) and black out. These current ones, I'll probably get creative. Put an artistic twist to it like hand painting designs on them.

Damn 4th set of headlights.

I've written a manual of ring sizes for Umnitza long ago, I guess it's not printed and laminated on their wall.

Honestly, anyone that think 9x rings fit correctly is basically smoking crack. The really really bad kind.

Did you put it back together yet? If not, you'll be in for another surprise.

And actually, if you haven't put sealed it back, stop! You may want to adjust the smaller ring so the visible gap is facing straight down so it doesn't look (too) out of place.

I had to go out just now and put them on to see how they look. All sealed up. Too late for that. It doesn't look bad. I manage to get them to fit. With a lot more work. The gap is off center because the wire coming straight down won't fit when putting the lens back. I'm going to leave it.

As far as Orion V4. They're bright with no hint of blue like the V2's.

I'm going to leave these alone. Most likely going to pick up that extra set too and do some different..

Yah, for LCI's, I think for the little ring it's best to have it go under as opposed to on top since then the wiring will show.

But you should be able the gap straight down. Oh well, too late now, lol. OR you could just bust into them again. I have on mine like 6 times, hahaha.

Can you guys take a video next time you open up the headlights? I want to mod a new set but I want to see the proper way of opening and maybe even sealing them. I'm gonna get a new set and take my time.
