    just remove the tabs and be done, you dont really have much of a choice...or sell them on the bay.

    You can just extend the rectangle to eliminate the rise to the side... The angle part, just block it and you will have e-code without the side lighting.

    It only rotates about 15 degrees. So the part of the sheild was horizontal will be the one slope up and the other part be horizontal.

    I think I know what you are talking about. But it is not the part that rotates. The whole part that's in the picture, front and back, the metal part with the lens and the reflector where the bulb mounted to, rotates within the outer lens housing, the other part not in the picture. The screws that I refer to are the three screws that holds the whole light together, not the ones in the picture. They are outside at the rear of the whole light housing. Maybe it is kind of confusing, but take a look at the whole thing, maybe it will be clear.

    I know exactly what you mean and I tried it - but those two tabs seem to keep it from fitting in. But I might just take regal's advice and break the tabs off.

    Try to sell em. If you're stuck with em dremel the plate straight and aim the headlights down a bit. Don't think of removing the plate totally...you wouldn't want to see what that beam would look like.

    i would try to dremel that angle in the other side and use that mettle tape (exhust tape) to make the other side squair. THE TAPE IS STRONG and hold up to being in there.
