While the Zero is in the air awaiting its exhaust, I'm attending to some housekeeping items that were left over from the build. You may recall that I installed Hikari 2020 LED bulbs in the lights and replaced the levelling units with the updated 2001 version. However, I kept the original halogen hi-beams. Since my headlight control module is on the fritz (new one on the way from Japan), I decided it was time to replace the hi-beams with the same LED bulbs for a complete look and install the rubber caps on the levelling bolts.
Prime's very own @Wild Turkey printed me these very nice extended bulb covers, but They broke on removal- it seems the bond failed at the seam. No worries, a little CA glue and overnight in the clamp restored them.

Back in place. Note that with these bulb covers, you must remove the entire headlight unit to take them off- no changing bulbs with the unit in the car anymore.

Confirmed the levelling bolts were at 13mm and placed the new caps. These are probably missing on your NSX.
