How did you put them on? They are kinda hard to put on wrong. What brand do you have?

the ones on 86niterider are the GTS not GTO headlight covers. GTS is out of busyness but u can still find them. i got mine for 49 bucks from some place online. but i need a new nose becuz my nose is warped becuz its 20 yrs old and i just hope thats the problem with mine. becuz my covers dont fit in the pockets flush or good at all.

I think the newer style attach a little differently than my older ones, and are shaped differently, I dont like them quite as much, but Im quite picky.
Good luck!

no the AVS brand covers suck. the velcro to the nose and tuck under the hood, i ordered those awhile ago and before i put them on the car i just held them up on there and that make the car look stupid. no offense to the people who has them.
i just returned mine and got my money back and had my mom order me the GTS ones from automotive car site off the internet, dunno the name of the site though

Just for s#!ts & grins, here are some that I made a couple of years ago:
They were cut out of some damaged taillight covers.

You can get the GTS covers from White's Pit Stop in Lansing Illinois. I believe they ship to the entire USA/Canada. The number is 708 418 8400

$42.00 plus shipping. It's not like Canada is on the other side of the world. You guys got UPS right. or Fed X. Probably $55.00 tops. call them and ask.
