    Take 2 on the install for these. I still don't think the drivers side looks right? First set had a manufacturer defect and cali raised replaced.

    Sober install. Not sure what I could have done wrong or different? Feedback?

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Andrew, it looks to me as though the one on the right is bent a little higher on the outside than the one on the left, no biggie. You should be able to "bend" it back into position if you didn't want to wait for delivery of a new one or while you wait for your delivery.

    From our old batch, they were not bent correctly, but with our new batch they are all perfect. I would check something your hood and bolts, because with our new ones we have sold hundreds and still no angle problems

    thanks for the reply. i've messed around with the hood bolts and the through bolts. replaced the through bolts, added a second set of through bolts and no luck. seems the drivers side just is not correct. upon install of the new brackets i held the replacement set up next to the old set and visually they looked the same. there's a few bends in them so i figured maybe the tweak was minor and it would show through upon install. no dice.

    Typically i do not complain, but the bracket experience has been sub par. add to the mix that i've glued and reglued the amber covers 3 times now (tried some different glue then the harbor freight stuff that came with them) and the damn things still don't stick. 2 of the 4 blew off.

    also noticed that on 2 of my 4 lights the center screw holding the lens in has loosened up. i've not even wired them up yet, kind of disappointed at this point with a product and company that seems to have gotten a lot of love from the Tacoma guys. idk maybe i'm doing it wrong or out of line here.
