I got a real stupid question :shock:
In theses lites, which way are they suppose to set, ?
Looking at the front of the lense, the screws go up and down as it sets in the hole, or diagonally

mine are a little off of horizontal pointing up towards the center of the car if that makes sense ..... i tried several different positions and liked this one the best.... my buddy said that they looked crosseyed ... that they are pointing inwards... i tend to agree (a little) but that was the way i like them given all the positions that i tried.....

Ok got it, thanks for all your help, it was a pain in the but lol
Passenger side could not be turned to be straight,I fought with that for 2 hrs or more, I got it as close as I could, I'm not sure why it was binding someplace, but with this spider I'm not surprised on anything. They work,they look great :)
:D thanks for helping every one

How are you going to mount the bumperettes if you have turn flashers in there?

My "squares" holes are going to become cold air intakes, so the indicators won't work in there.

Out of interest - does anyone know what the original purpose of the "square" holes were? Are they just air flow through or something specific?

I have heard brake cooling holes . but don't see how they would work very well. with out directional venting . My thoughts are they where a thought for future models and they where trying to figure a way to change the ugly front bumpers
