Why does the size matter anyways? are you trying to find out what bulb can fit in there?

That's kind of difficult to answer because it's not exactly round. But it's about 4.5" from top to bottom and about 5" from side to side. Hope that helps.

Can you circle exactly what you want measured? I have headlights taken apart at home but I'm at work right now. I can find out for you.

I'm not sure if he means the reflector bowl, or the size of the opening on the bezels. The reflector bowl's circumference is slightly larger.

I just measured and it's not a perfectly round circle. From left to right it's about 105mm. From top to bottom it's about 100mm.

Wouldn't it be better to just measure the circumference as opposed to the diameter? Is that light ring flexible?

How do you plan on mounting it? Is it going to sit behind the rear edge of the GS chrome trim piece or on the front somewhere?
