Thank you very much for your kind words!

You have to replace the whole center area with the ARISTO one. I basically bought the Aristo garnish and sold my GS300 one. I just sent you a PM so check it out.

Thanks,
Bryan

You can clean the outside a little by using a fine grit sandpaper. start off with a 2000 grit and work up from there. A friend of mine did that with his jza80 supra and the headlights turned out pretty good. When your done use a good plastic polish.

There is a clip on the inside of the fog light where you pull out and then unscrew. Chances are the clip will crack because it is very delicate.
