Mk2 escort headlight bezels.

[Fozzy48]

I bought some new halogen headlights for the escort a while back. I took the old lights off to replace and noticed that the chrome bezel is riveted to the light via 3 little plates. Is this what they were like originally.? It seems like they were so I've redone them back as they were as there doesn't seem to be any other option like springs. 

Cheers.

If your talking about the chrome ring which attaches to the headlamp backing piece, they are normally three screws. So that you can leave the backing in when removing the headlamp itself to change a bulb, thus not having to disturb the adjusters. Usually there is a spring going from the headlamp backing. To the headlamp bucket itself to stop the whole unit rattling around and keeping pressure on the adjusters (90% of the time this is missing )

It's funny as the replacement headlights have a little raised area just below the chrome bezel line and these clips/plates fit exactly into position then screw or rivet the bezel to the clip to stop the headlight falling out. That's how it was before I replaced it and I've just done the same back.
