the parts where the grill attaches to , you can cut them down and make them fit but its hard to get all the front end nice and straight

yup. it'll be a piece off piss to do mate. just look at the headlight's that you're taking out and you'll see what need's trimming. should be a 5 min job..

there just the same apart from the bigger tab for the grill.

All the lights have the wiper attachement underside, as said the cossie ones have a tab instead of a great big flange, but easily modded, mine line up better with a 10mm nut between the grille tab and the headlight tabs where they screw to each other, but perfect then.

could you take the glass and reflector out of the new lights and use the plastic from the cossie light to keep the tab for fixing the grill
cheers james
