Michael:
There are several differences between the American headlights and the Canadian designed headlights. Here are some differences:
Please refer to the attached pictures.
- The Canadian headlight has a narrower chromed bezel than the American headlight. I think there is the potential for scraping the paint when installing the Canadian bezel. The Canadian bezel is pictured.
- In profile they look almost identical but the Canadian bucket is a bit shorter. In the picture of the two buckets, the American bucket is on the left and the Canadian bucket is on the right.
- They both use Flex Beam lenses but as I recall the Canadian lens is marked "Flex" at the tip; the American one is marked "Flex Beam."
- The lenses, however, are not the same. The Canadian model uses H-16161 (L) and H-16162 (R), and the American version uses H-14925 / 6 (L/R).
- The Canadian lenses have a flatter profile.
- The reflector mounts are different. The Canadian ones are "nasty" to install and remove. The Canadian one is shown in the picture.
- The bezel mounting differs.
Hope this helps.
