Yes it does, let your Jag man do the job and everything he has said is correct.

I received the lenses I won on ebay today. Hmm. Not sure I like them in black, especially on my silver car. Also, the black plastic itself is stained in much the same way the old chrome ones are. As though water has run in, settled, and left streak marks. I've tried cleaning to no avail.

Also, it looks like there are mounting points on the sides which are broken - I can't easily tell whether it's meant to be like that. I've searched ebay for pics but can't find any. Does anyone have good quality images of lenses from all angles so I can compare?

Whatever, I don't think I'll be putting them on my car
