    I need new rubbers.

    Are these independent of the headlights?

    And are they easy to fit??

    The fit is dependent on 2 things.

    How badly wadded up they are in the packaging and for how long.
    How intact, if at all the preglued portion is.

    Worse case is its fussy, takes patience and time and needs to be manually glued in small portions at a time.

    Taking the headlight out of the car so it can be done on the bench is easy if it comes to that.

    Timely post, I'm in the same boat with an F430. Once they come loose, or if you want to transfer them to a different headlight, any recommendation to 're-seat' them? Or they need to be replaced?

    @Rifledriver , you mentioned 'manually glued', what adhesive do you recommend?

    Thank you!

    I use 3M Trim Adhesive. NOT Weatherstrip adhesive.
