Guys, what would be really helpful would be if you could post pictures up of how your clear bra looks around the headlights and inner lights. My dealership is great, and I'm sure they'd be happy to address the issue, but I need to be able to show them what it's supposed to look like so they can compare it to what mine looks like and then we can take it from there.

Also, I believe the bra comes in several pieces, so it might just be one of the section that needs to be redone.

Thanks again for all your replies. Pictures would be great if you have them (or if you don't have them, if you could take them).

I will post mine when I get back next Thursday.

On the high beam. There is a cut to fit the curve.
