Its actually not that hard.....instalation is easy. Just pull the factory cage , remove the light motor and swap it over. The new cage is somewhat the same, a few areas that differ. Its the finishing results that make it hard. Lining up the light so that when it retracts the top part doesnt hit the front of the bumper. The first time i had it all set up and put the light down it was too far forward and got caught under the bumper. I thought i was going to snap the FG housing for the light. Lucky it didnt though cause that would have been $$$$



I was going to wait to put them on till i put my new bumper on, but Im still waiting on the lights for the bumper so I figured I would throw these in now. With the bumper off there would have been more room but that would not allow me to align it up properly.



The lights do sit lower then stock but not by much. Most people think or assume that this is a "sleepy light" kit.......i guess it is, but not as drastic as you would think. So i would have to say its about an inch or inch and a half lower.



All in all I LOVE this set up!!! Im not one thats much for the sleek light set up so Im really happy with this kit
