Where to mount hood locks with JDM headlights??
Most pics I've seen show the hood locks (Mr. Gasket) mounted on one of the cross support holes near the headlights. However, to my surprise I discovered that the rear headlight housing on the JDM headlights is a larger diameter than its USDM counterpart. The larger housing does not allow the lock studs sufficient room to mount! 
So, what are my options? BTW, I have a OEM style VIS carbon figer hood. Car is in the siggy. Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure with the Mr. Gasket hood locks in perticular, but when I installed hoodpins on my EG, I had to cut the part that went through the support holes.. just cut about two inches off and the headlights fit fine with it.
