The early ones sit in a bit further than the late ones and the later ones have a larger plastic surround - you can put late glass and surround on an early light too... hope that helps a bit - if you're still stuck put a pic of them up 8)

so perhaps the drivers is a late then as the plastic surround seems a bit too small.

do the early lights not fit the later front panel? as the late headlight i have fits very well but the early doesnt seem to. just want to know for sure before i buy a set of late lights.

I've got a 1990 G60 and I've got an new type of radiator support, I noticed this weekend when fitting an new type of grill and it was plug&play. So i think that all the headlights fits as wel in the old as the new type of C. The only difference is the glass of the headlight, the new one is higher than the old type.
