Works awesome!
Nice and tight against the glass, nice chrome look, better quality than original as the original was tacked on to the tabs and this is a solid piece. It’ll be put to the test cause of the potholes on these dirt roads (Seldovia Alaska). 1979 Chevy bonanza (c-10).

Dorman 7" round headlight rings / 78 Explorer
I don't believe I couldve gotten a better product for the small price I had to pay. Each one was less than the price of breakfast. I dont see any imperfections in the quality of the product. The thing that I really like is the rings are "solid/continuous" , unlike the originals that were made in one piece but had the joint which made them easy to bend. The only downfall, which isn't in craftsmanship, was one of the rings came without mounting screws from where the glue seperated from the plastic / cardboard and they must've fallen out during packaging. But I'm more than certain the "seller" will make it right once I contact them and let them know. Still 5 stars.....TOP DOLLAR MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR A GREAT LOW PRICE!!!

It's fine, just doesn't fit ...
I got this to replace the one on my 1979 Camaro. Unfortunately, only two holes line up, which is only slightly helpful. At this moment, it's better than nothing but I will be ordering the one that's supposed to be an exact fit. The price on this one was just right though.

Work fine with some customization
Cheaper material than the other rings I ordered, but this is the only one that had the correct position brackets. I bent off the unneeded ones and they came off a little too easy. The diameter is also a little smaller than the headlights, so they don't fit on all the way. Still mounted fine, but the brackets had to be bent back a little to reach the holes on the body. This stuff is getting harder to find, I'm going to order two more in case these break.

I had to bend one ear slightly sideways to get the proper 3 tabs to line up on '67 VW Bug headlight buckets but other than that they fit nice and snug. Then I used tin snips to cut off the unused ears to finish the project.

ZERO corrosion resistance - does not fit either
Installed them on my 2006 Jeep TJ - holes did not line up but was able to elongate/slot two of them. Not the end of the world, just an irritation for an item listed as fitting my vehicle. Turned a 5 minute job into a 1/2 hour one.However, real problem is that the round cosmetic ring (not the area I elongated the slot) began to rust almost immediately. After only two months I removed them - a rusted up mess. I live in CT and I know we had a tough winter, but this was Feb/April time frame - the extreme part of the winter was already behind us.Definitely paint these first if you install them - but why should you have to, they are advertised as corrosion resistant?!? DO NOT BUY - garbage.

Adaptable.
Extra tabs allowed it to fit my 75 Pontiac. Very tight fit on headlight - had to very carefully compress ring. Not original style screws but the longer screws allowed me to compress fit over headlight. Needed alignment afterwards.
