There may be some differences between your headlight configuration and what is shown in
these instructions. Customers send us their headlights to make headlight adapters. Through
the years, previous owners of the customers car may have modified the headlight. This is
the case with this Chrysler Royal headlight in which an old style "pie-pan" headlight adapter
was added. We don’t know what was removed, if anything, but the basic headlight bucket
and beauty ring should resemble yours.
