[QUOTE="someotherguy, post: 20063, member: 6178"] I think it's usually in a pull-down list similar to how they indicate whether you're getting regular stock or close-out items. It was a little confusing to me because I saw that and selected it from the pull-down and the part # didn't change. At any rate, I got these in, and they look good. The jiggly low beam capsules were due to the retainer plate screws not being fully tightened. It probably doesn't matter a whole lot with halogen capsules but I'd imagine if someone were to use drop-in HID's or LED's, there would be an obvious and annoying "shake" appearance to the light. Careful not to strip the plastic, I just snugged down the loose screws a bit. Some Meguiar's Scratch-X and a rag was then used to clean up the GM park light housings that were installed way back in 2017 and still look pretty good, unlike the headlights that had gone so ugly within a year or so. Old GM (China) housings from 2017 (I did keep these because I'm sure I can sand, polish, and re-clear them later) [ATTACH type="full" alt="06SS_216s.jpg"]1157[/ATTACH] New TYC headlights, and GM (China) park lights from 2017, cleaned up [ATTACH type="full" alt="06SS_217s.jpg"]1156[/ATTACH] Richard [/QUOTE]
