I found out what you were talking about with the brackets. I broke one tab trying to pry it up enough to slide onto the mount. I am in the process of switching over the stock brackets now and we'll see how this goes. Besides poor bracket design the ProCarParts lights are awesome.

I have the same headlights. One slid right up against the bracket fine. The other stopped a little short where the two tabs are.

There is a gap between the bottom of the lense and the bumper cover on both lights. The longer bolt and nut will cure this? Or was it a combination of the factory brackets and the longer bolt and nut. Thanks!

Ok???

Yea, even with the stock brackets I had to break the outer ones off to fit. The headlights will line up fine, I did the final adjustment tonight, my right one was a little low.
