Default JDM Headlight Question

Hello guys,
Just bought these on eBay. Does it look like this headlight is missing one of the 3 clips on the top of it that are supposed to hold it together? To me it looks like part of the gray plastic is broken. You all know what they're supposed to look like up close, I don't.

Thanks,
Jose

I forgot to mention the are the black housing headlights.
Here's the link to eBay. Did I pay too much. That price doesn't include the $22 for shipping.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...873285744&rd=1

Thanks,
Jose

the clips are pointless, the glue is so strong its all ok, the clips are from when teh unit was put together to hold it while the glue dried.


My question is, whe you install them how do you change the corner light bulbs? You would have to remove the headlight everytime. any other ways?

You might want to reinforce the seals. I've heard of someone who bought a "new" item from e-Bay and the water leaked into the housing everytime it rained. It was OK after he resealed them himself. So you may want to do that as a precaution.
