Title: FC Headlight surrounds Post by: JayJay on March 12, 2025, 05:38:07 PM G'day Everyone,
Headlight surrounds... are they all made of the same material? I thought the "painted from factory" ones were steel... is this the case? Thanks for your help! Title: Re: FC Headlight surrounds Post by: customFC on March 12, 2025, 09:52:37 PM All the same material.

Yes they are all Zinc Die Cast material. There are ones that suit Lucas headlights and ones that suit Bosch headlights. Cheers |
