Has anyone else had issues with missing VA-194B and VA-194C MR16 Retainer cups/plates? Kudos to Vans for sending replacement parts (no charge). However, their system showed quantity 4 each and my OP-36 directions show quantity 2 each. Two lights per side?
Maybe I've been sniffing too much fiberglass dust lately...
Cheers,
Jay
fiberglass is good for you, dooda, dooda... (to the tune of Old Suzzana)

All of my parts were there (2 retainer cups/plates) but the bulbs don't seem to fit very well into the cups, so the retainer plate is difficult/impossible to get installed correctly. I have not called Van's, but wonder if the size of the bulbs has changed slightly since they manufactured the cups. I will be interested to hear what others have found.

On mine the cups went up about halfway, and the springs really had to be
compressed to fit at all. I made the angle spacers, and tried to screw
everything together repeatedly before I finally figured out how to get
it all to work. The easy way to do it, is to put all three through the
face plate and set it on the bench, put springs on the screws, backing
plate on, and compress the springs until they just seat in the nut
plates. Then this is the hard part, slide the whole assembly to the side
of the bench and as one screw is exposed get a screwdriver on it and
hold the pressure. Do this for each of the three and it works. The hard
part is then getting the angle spacers to line up, but work with it.
