## Description

This headlight retaining ring designed to match the fit and function of the original ring on specified vehicles, and is engineered for durability and reliable performance.

Review: Functional for the money! - I used these on my 69 Dodge Dart to install aftermarket led. As many have noted, the rings were tight and wouldn’t slip over. A simple work around, was to remove some of the edge where it sits around the light. Take your time. They will work.
Review: Works awesome! - Nice and tight against the glass, nice chrome look, better quality than original as the original was tacked on to the tabs and this is a solid piece. It’ll be put to the test cause of the potholes on these dirt roads (Seldovia Alaska). 1979 Chevy bonanza (c-10).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works awesome!
*by C***E on July 18, 2024*

Nice and tight against the glass, nice chrome look, better quality than original as the original was tacked on to the tabs and this is a solid piece. It’ll be put to the test cause of the potholes on these dirt roads (Seldovia Alaska). 1979 Chevy bonanza (c-10).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One piece is the best
*by M***K on January 26, 2026*

Love that these are made from one piece of metal. Had both of mine break that had the tack welded tabs. They have more tabs than you need, but I could bend them back and forth to break them off. Worked great for my 1978 G30 Van
