Question for people with headlight covers?

[z284pwr]

Since its finally getting nice I decided to throw on the headlight covers yesterday and came to realize that with the glass headlights I have, there are 2 "air" hoses on the outsides of the headlights that are right where the tabs for the headlight covers go.  Is this just a fluke thing or is this normal?  I ask because the covers seem to have quite a bit of gap between the foglights and the covers, which isn't very good looking.  I contacted Ryan since he is the only one I knew right off that had them except he wasn't sure, so, anyone with headlight covers have any input on this?

O/T but...

I would like to get a set of these but in clear so I can get them tinted red to match the car...

remind me sometime this week and I can take a few pics of one of my covers that isnt broken, and we can see what the difference is. 

Take a pic of what you are talking about so I can see what we are comparing.

Did they even make them in clear?  And what is stopping you fromt getting black ones painted red?  They say right on the box they are paintable....

and Ryan, can do, I'll get some pictures up on Wednesday of both of what I'm talking about.

Dont want to paint them red as that is ilegal in my area. But if I were to put like a red tint on them, that would be legal as long as my fog lights arent covered and in working condition. They did make them in clear as I have seen them befor (befor I bought a w-body).

Alright here are pictures, sorry so late, I have been working all night detailing the car :icon_cool: Didn't get to the windows since I don't have the stuff for them and ran out of time, no outside pictures either as its raining  :icon_evil: :icon_rolleyes:
Anyways....
Gap...

Ugly to me...

Why gap is bad....

You beesh!!!!


So, I did some surgery like normal tinker people do and removed them, I'm assuming they are air vents or something for the headlights as when I finally got them out, which was a chore, there is a nice gaping hole that needs to be taken care of.  It took down the gap quite a bit on the passenger side but the driver's side keeps sliding back off a bit, must have the bottom on to far?....
