I had them and mine didn't have them, but then the left one fell off on the freeway somehow and I'm reluctant to buy another set as I don't want another 50 bucks to be wasted, so put something extra on there to hold it on.

I got a pair ill sell ya pretty cheap if you are interested. The left 1 has a small 1 inch crack at the top but you really cant see it. Ill take some pics if you are slightly interested. I also have the fogs and tail light covers im willing to sell if anyone is interested.


+1 on the something extra. Go down to wal-mart and get some velcro. Here is how I did mine..

After my driver's side front cover popped out a little on the highway, I cut a thin strips of velcro (1 inch x 1/4 inch) and tucked them in the two inside, and bottom outside corners of the headlight. I've had these on for 2 years with 0 problems... I wash the car frequently too..

I have found that if you warm up the stickers by leaving them in the sun or using a heat gun they are very easy to get off. You may not even have to use the rubbing alcohol.

Thats a big N.O. to the Acetone FingerNail Polish Remover.
It will eat the plastic covers for lunch.
Try some plastic polish like for headlight lenses.
Alcohol is not very good either as it will turn the smoked
covers white.

So that 0 and 2 06Redfire3V

And I dont thing the manufacturers are going to put
their Logo on the covers with something that can be
removed with soap and water or the first car wash
would remove the trade Logo they took the time to
put on them.

EDIT: Make that 0 and 3

Some petrolium based wax will remove the sticky residue
if they are stickers.
