Packick, Thanks for you help. You 'splained it to me faster than I could ask the question!

I just recently bought the car, and thought I was dealing with just broken lenses. It was apparent that I was dealing with something other than that detailed in my tech literature. I am only glad that I could autopsy the broken lenses so that I could see how to handle assembly.

The lenses are installed dry - there are no obvious clips holding them into the chrome bezel, and the bezel stays behind while one pulls out the lens (only) at a 30 degree angle from vertical.

I'm researching correct lenses as you detailed above, but I'm also toying with the idea of swapping out to US buckets, bezels and lenses. Need a ruling on that... Another option is to adapt the US lenses with a gasketing arrangement on the inside of the bezel, to mimimize the possibility of breakage.

The lens chome bezel is very thin and fragile. It appears that it is meant to stay put, and definitely NOT come off when removing the lens. Nasty, with high degree of difficulty and expensive learning curve!
