Size of facelifted Angel Rings?

I purchased some angel rings for my 04 and before I rip everything apart I noticed the larger ring appears too large. It seems most sellers sell the same kit for 99-04 models and the items I received are 127mm/158mm in size.

Am I eye-balling them incorrectly or are the 04s smaller in size? Thanks

If I'm not mistaken the head light housings for the facelift models are sealed shut using a plastic welding method. They can't be opened without cutting them apart. I seem to remember several other threads here from people trying to get into these housings. You may want to do a search and rethink this one.

Thanks, already did. I'm not worried about opening them, just the size of the rings is in question.

Spare vehicle so if it's down a few days...

Should be 120mm. However the 7mm difference in diameter shouldn't be that bad.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
The low beam rings on facelift should be around 120mm and the high beam should be around 145mm
