These look pretty good except no VW or Hella logo. Has the chrome trim has anyone tried them?

The problem I've found with ones like these is the indentations on the ends that "click" into the metal tabs in the back pad are too shallow. They are made for a direct click into sheet metal like a bug roof panel. Ours need to be deeper into the housing (closer to the surface of the light) to account for the thickness of the vinyl, padding, particle board AND the metal tabs the fixture ultimately clicks into.
Who makes a repro that works? |
