Here’s a photo of the issue I’m having. The flange where the case meets the glass on the Eagle is 1/8” thicker (deeper) than a standard OEM light so that when the Eagle is placed in the bucket the beauty (retaining) ring can’t go on far enough rearward so that 1) The factory bolt is too short because the ring can’t compress enough and 2)The beauty ring no longer goes over the raised formed ring of the bucket that keeps the light from falling off.

Sounds like youre gonna have to test there 100% no fab guarantee, they arnt cheap so hopefully you get it squared away.
 
The only solution I could determine was to remove the OEM light suspension ring and that allowed the Eagle light to sit back far enough in the bucket that the beauty could be used. It is NOT my most desirable fix but at least the lights fit in there. Time will tell if was a good idea or not.

If you were trying to fit the cheap LEDs from Amazon and eBay you'd have a hundred responses. The Eagles are just too expensive.
