Are you meant to rub off the paint over the lens, or is that meant to be retained?

I have seen some of these (in photos) where one side of vehicle has only one light, and a space where the other light should be. Is that normal?

OK good .

Aluminium is easier to machine ... don't know if 1" hex stock aluminium is available . It's possible to machine that hex shape out of round stock using a milling machine and a dividing head - but it is a somewhat slower process .

PS it is available in the USA ....
