Good find, how did they mount up, i had to cut the wire where the little glass nubs came out on the bulb, plus, my screens mounted inside headlight retaining rings

Post up a pic of how you mounted them

Jim – The K20 is at a local resto shop getting clear protectant film applied to the hood and lower body and a swap to the correct radiator. I had the shop add these screens as part of that work and wasn’t told of any issues. I’ll post back once the K20 is home and share the instructs. I’ve got another unopened pack of the same screens that I’ll add to my Blazer if I like the look so am curious myself. From what I can tell there are clips that mount deep to the retaining rings and which hold the screens in place.

Yeah, that's what I thought mounted with clips, I just used deeper retaining rings, cut the wire at the glass nubs, and the stone guards set flat against the glass, but this will negate the protection of the stone guards

If you need the demension of my retaing ring, I could take it apart and measure it, just let me know


Horizontal wire cut at 10 o`clock

Out of 100`s of ways to do something, this is just another example
