53 to 57 headlight retainer ring Trivia

[Roy B.]

It don't mean much as fare as the JM goes ,but if your buying them it does. It also mean the headlight bucket needs to match the retainer ring , if you don't have the correct bucket or ring nether will work to gather. Can some one tell me why and which is the original correct ring?

Bottom one, Lip on the inside of the ring.

The bottom one only has 3 tabs

The top one has two tabs. Why because the third hold down point uses a spring . I point this out because many are bought by Corvette guys thinking it's Corvette because many sellers list them as NOS in a box for car and Corvette. The top ring will not work on a Corvette unless the bucket is also wrong.
