I found these on ebay for a reasonable price and couldn't pass them up. I guess I have another project to add to the list once I gather the other parts.

I’m not sure there is a single thing you can do to these cars to change them from “not quite right” to “damn that looks better” than changing the mandated 5” lamps for the proper 7” ones.
Baudrate, I don't see a pic or a link to anything in your first post. From the other posts it looks like you scored a pair of 7in rings, I'm pretty sure I passed on those last week as my car is converted, but it was still tempting.
Well done- those are almost impossible to find in good used shape any more. I would know- for years we sold the Euro 7" headlight conversion kits until production of the trim rings ended (maybe 10 years ago). I looked everywhere for NOS or other pieces- not much out there besides really corroded used parts, mostly from the UK. A chance interaction with a customer who also had overseas casting connections led to us (Jaguar Specialties) beginning to reproduce the 7" European rings, exactly as original. Now, after being unavailable for years, this is a kit (trim rings, headlight buckets, hardware, etc.,.) we offer as a regular item.
Everyone will agree this upgrade is fantastic for these models....
For informational purposes only, here's a pic of an original ring next to one of our repros (new one on the right ...)....
