    For those of you with the DV8 front winch bumper, do you have problems with your outside LED lights not pointing in the right direction? My passenger outside round LED is pointing high and to the left and I cannot adjust it.

    If no one is having this issue I am going to contact the dealership who had installed them to find out what they did.

    Mine seem to line up just fine, 2 outside 3.5" LED Fogs and 2 inside 3.5" driving beam pods

    1) Is the bumper square to the frame? (equal distance and gaps between the center section and the body)
    2) Are the "endcaps" lined up to the center section? (There are elongated screwholes to allow for alignment when attaching the ends to the center - can be loosened and "tweaked" to get them lined up right)
    3) Are the tube insets for the lights pointing true forward?

    If those are all checked and correct, then there should be plenty of travel adjustment in the light mount, it's just a simple tab with multiple holes and slots for mounting. Might check to make sure that the installers didn't use one of the off-center mounting holes for the light, and didn't use too many washers between the bumper's mounting tab and the light's mounting method - or too few. Light should be more or less centered in the tube.

    Lastly, some lights, although labeled as 3.5", may have thicker housings and simply be too large to sit centered in the tube without contacting on top/bottom/sides, causing it to point one direction or another?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will check them out when it stops raining and I can get up under the truck.
