Replacement firebird headlight trim rings?

Anyone know what aftermarket headlight trim rings fit the larger 5x7 headlights? I just got a pair of used headlights but can’t get the trim rings to line up With the holes at all! Somehow I got them off but no idea how to get them back on. Tried flipped them and no matter what 1 side is always off like 1/4”.

NAPA might have them. IIRC, those are supposed to be"universal" for all cars using that style of headlight. You may have to go to the wrecking yard to get some more.

I should have some. I'll check in the morning. If I have then I'll activate it on my web site and post the link.
