I wanted chrome trim around the headlights as well as a way to attach them without glue so I went Macgyvering.

Thumbs up

That's excellent. Simple and looks perfect. I have a box full of zipzap, mini z, and other assorted wheels just collecting dust I'll have to go dig through now see what I can come up with, thanks for the idea.

Generic cheap plastic flashlights that you might find on a key chain or with some company logo on the side. Just carry a lens around in your pocket so when you spot a cheap flashlight you can check the dimensions of it's bucket. That's how I found mine.

Very nice! I have a bronco I'm working on now. I've been looking around for the zip zap mt but can't find them anywhere. Do you know where to get them or do you still have the other two rims for sale maybe? I've got to trick out my
headlights like that! nice job!
