Flamed headlight rings

Does anyone know if the chrome flamed headlight ring that TVA sells works on the new Xenon headlamps? I've seen these on the standard lamps and they look pretty sharp, but I can't tell if the Xenons have the same layout...

They wont fit. But they look horrendous anyways. (my opinion of course....make your car different)


EDIT: I just did some quick research. If you check Mossmini.com they state that they will NOT fit the xenons(unlike i had posted earlier). I dont know the exact reasoning since they seem like they should, but if you paid 500 dollars for xenon why cut down on light output with a huge chrome flame anyways?

Don't they cover the washer? All Xenons have washers. If that is true then they will not fit.

Thanks

Thanks to all who posted. I'm not normally into this type of mod but I thought it would be almost satyrical to have this 'bling'. But as noted above, if it's going to reduce the light output of the lamps it's not worth it.
I love this board.
