Thanks Nick. I just returned from the garage where I pulled one of my trim rings off to inspect for a set screw hole. Even that effort about kicked my ass. No holes. I wonder if you can send me a picture of the bottom of a headlight bucket (preferrably installed in a car) that shows the hole. Does the set screw go into the chromed ring that holds the headlight in or is the hole on the bucket itself? My buckets have a metal flange that sticks out only about 1/4" from the vehicle.

Thanks for your help.

Mike
