Headlight switch surround mod

Has anyone done this ‘mod’? For 1 2 3 4 series F30 F34 X5 F15 2014-2017 Car Styling ABS Chrome Headlight Switch Decorative Sequins Trim 2pcs/set (Matt silver) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0792HW798/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8R2TDb4F4S5DT

Basically fitting some plastic silver trim around the headlight switch to rest the match of the interior. Saw it done on YouTube and thought it was a good idea.

However...I bought the one above and the quality is awful - the plastic pieces are bent, don’t fit and the 3M tape doesn’t stick so have sent it back.

Has anyone bought one off eBay that fits?

Cheers!

Yes, got mine from Amazon also but from TOPDECO who are the same guys who do the pedal covers.

I was a little dubious but fitted well and looks good. [IMG][/IMG]
