I bought some new rectangular fiberglass headlight bezels at a rally last year. They came with four bent aluminum 'clips' with plastic 'nuts' in them and some instructions. I emailed Frank Jenkins about some other parts listed in the instructions, but he said that's all there is to them.

Line #3 says, in part "Install alum brackets... with bolts included". Line #7C says, in part "Slide flat alum strips...into bottom slots...". What bolts included? What aluminum strips? I'm not asking Frank to send me this stuff, I just don't understand what it is. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

John, I got new round ones from Fay when we painted the coach. Had to drill the 4 holes and they screwed right to the old clips, with new screws from local lumber yard.

John, are you trying to install the bezels or the rectangular headlight assemblies? You have to trim Franks bezels to fit the contours of your coach. Also, the parking lights have to be relocated higher to fit his bezels.

John,
Our kit is lot smilier to his, but includes all the new adjusting bolts.
I can send you some of those bolts or give you the part #
On ours, we do not relocate the parking light.
