    Here was my right assembly before:
    Hello Dana, sorry for the OT, can you tell me the correct order for the headlight buckets? from passenger side to driver side, R1 - R2 - ...?

    Hi! Sure, the order is R2, R1, L1, L2. Basically, the 2's go on the outside and the 1's go inside.

    To add on to that since I made the mistake, this location is important because there indentation in the corners are different and will prevent the headlights from going in the right location.

    Speaking of the rock screen, on the upper 5 brackets (108466) that hold it in place, I needed some M6 cage nuts ( spire nut retainer, SP10158 ) that are also out of stock to buy separate from the bracket so I was able to source them online. I have several extras so let me know if you need any.
    I appreciate the offer, thanks.

    I've been keeping a running list as things come apart of what I need to either replace or repair. I noticed a while ago that those five brackets you mentioned were going to need replacement as one of them basically disintegrated in my hands. I got those brackets earlier this season and they came with those captive nuts already in them. I still have a bunch of different fasteners to procure, rivets, nuts, bolts, etc. I've noticed that more than a couple brackets or bolts under the front of my car weren't connected to anything, so the list will keep evolving as I learn how it's all supposed to go together in the first place. I used to think that things under there were being kept together by the Force, and now it seems I wasn't too far off!!

    Hi Ed,

    Glad to see those RH housings will be available again.

    Does that work out to about January 1st when they can be purchased from your website?

    And would you expect the RH side ones to be priced the same as the LH ones currently are at 66.86 Euros?

    Is there any way to make those springs they include in the kit work on our cars? They look to me like they only have one end with a hook on it and need hooks on both ends.

    I didn't try them. I think the size is different. The DMC ones are only $0.76 though, so I'd just buy those.
