    I pulled out the liner behind the fog lights on my 2021 Pro to try and address the shaking fog lights. These brackets were just floating around in the blank space behind the fog lights, one on each side. What are these for?

    Nevermind, I figured it out. They’re the brackets for the little flap thing I took off

    Yep all set. Funny, I didn’t even hear it fall when I removed those screws. Funny they call that a “mud flap”

    Now we know why all the folks here running 35's and 37's who remove these, have such terrible MPG's. ;)
