[Mgs] Yay Moss - lighting upgrade report

[PaulHunt73]

On a different tack to bulbs:  The gasket is there to provide a seal against 
water ingress, and there is another one behind the lamp unit against the 
body.  I don't know how thick the originals were, but when I replaced my 
front parking lights as soon as I started fitting the lenses and chrome 
surround it was obvious that the edge of the chrome was going to dig in to 
my new paint.  I had to pre-fit a nut to each stud to space them out, which 
needed three gaskets on the back to fill the gap.  I've seen the car 
featured on the front of Clausager's book at a show and the edges of his 
chrome were dug into the paint as well, so it wasn't just mine.
