the gap in the pics is caused by a bit of interference with a portion of the bumper, my understanding is there will be a template supplied to remove the offending piece. they removed it on mikes car, but after the pics, very simple to do.

Ummm, I don't get it? Supplying a template to do what? To put into the gap? What was removed from Mike's car?

Sounds like a portion of the bumper (under the lights may have been pushing up on the housings) will need to be trimmed, hence the template. I hope this trimmed portion would not be seen if factory headlights have to be reinstalled at any time.

I seriously hope this is NOT the case. If so, count me out as I'm not hacking up my bumper to make them fit. Say it aint so!  Mark

Thanks for the call Mikey! I now know what Pole was "trying" to say  . There is a small tab on the bumper, where the headlights mount that will need to be trimmed. Once this is trimmed, the headlights will be able to come down and rest on the bumper as if it were stock. Mark

you buncha wimps!! backing out because you have to trim something a little? Whayt I gather is that there is a small piece of bumper (picture a small raised poertion on the bumper) that is not allowing the bottom on the light to sit flush. Simply take a dremel, or a file even (depending) and get it flush with the bumper. Then it wont be pushing up on the light, and there will be no gap. It's a 5 second modification. Jeesh...

Ummmm no.. From my first conclusion, I was under the impression that we had to get the hacksaw out and go to town which = me not wanting to fark my bumper up.. Mikey called me and verified that the only thing that needs cut, is the mounting tab on the bumper..
