Trying to complete a facelift conversion on my classic 1995.

i have changed the bonnet, got myself some facelift headlights and new grill but for some reason the lights dont want to locate with the wings like the old lights did

i was lead to beleive the headlights would fit its just the bonnet and grill thats different.

The only thing you need to change is the bonnet, bonnet vents, scoop, front grille and lights. Everything else just fits.
It sounds as though either the bonnet, lights or grille are out somewhere.

Have you got the sidelights out? You should be able to see if there is any misalignment then.

Also: did it all fit with the OLD lights? If so, check with a ruler etc that the fittings for the NEW lights are the same centres as the old.......and are they OE Scoob lights or aftermarket?
