Bottom line with LSC and most likely many other kits these headlights (BUCKETS) are to big for the car! Bottom line.......an entire new mold(s) have to be made just to house the new buckets!

Can they be made to fit? Yes, NOT CORRECTLY, BUT they wil fit in the hole with extremely weak mounting points and even at that the flange sticks out over the flat surface almost all the way around.

NOTE: I THINK. ABOUT A DOZEN OF OUR MANUFACTURERS NEED TO GET A HOLD OF KD LIGHTING OF OHIO AND TELL THEM THERE IS A PROBLEM.

Side note for Mr Bill, at my son's wedding just a few years ago in SC. My wife had to.drag me back to Meechigan kicking & screaming all the way!

IT MAY NOT BE TO LATE!?? NC, SC? Who knows?? ��
Building up the headlight bucket area on a Lone Star is equal to having to grind down seams on an FFR roadster body. You have to build up the fiberglass, making the opening smaller, then grinding and cutting out the opening again, a true pain in the behind, but the only way to get the headlight buckets to fit properly.

As for the rest, SC is the way to go, you have my number, feel free to call...

1.5 inches snow last year, shut he whole area down for two straight days (TWO DAYS).......
