There is surface pitting, but certainly nothing that will impair the functionality. They have a few rather "interesting" bends in them, that probably did not originate at the factory. I fully expect a long and rather tortuous ordeal in making them fit what I have, but Hey---thats what oxy-acetylene is for. I am still sicker than a dog with cold/flu and have a torn up shoulder muscle to boot, so whatever happens isn't going to happen real quick. Now, tomorrow I have to box up the headlight bar and UPS it down to California---
Go back to bed and watch some daytime TV for a sleep sedative and get rid of your flu/cold.

With a gas wrench, anything can be made to fit - I usually like to make square pegs fit round holes
