Headlight filler panel grommet replacement

A month ago I was pulling together parts for my Euro headlight conversion and had a hard finding the grommets that live in the filler panels and let the wiper arms pass thru. The OEM ones ( 1269971481)are listed as ‘temporarily NLA’, but a set of arms I bought included a rather tired pair I installed.

However, I bought a 25 pack of these below grommets that fit the bill size wise. They fit well although don’t have the exact same size and shape as the OE parts. It’d take a sharp eyed concours judge to spot the difference.

I doubt I need all 25 so should you need some send me a PM and I’ll mail you a pair in a plain white envelope for $3.
