    Instructions;

    Remove forward-most bolt on hood hinge with 12mm socket or wrench

    [​IMG]

    Install bracket with this bolt and tighten snugly. Failure to do so may result in hood slipping off alignment in next step.

    Remove other bolt from hood hinge.

    [​IMG]

    Rotate light bracket on first bolt to align second hole on bracket with last bolt removed. Install bolt and tighten. Double check tightness on both bolts.

    Like there's nothing there. :D There is still roughly 1" of clearance with hood open from back of light to windshield.

    Not at all! Simply unbolt the one closest to hood latch (front), place bracket and bolt it. Dug it up but not too tight. Lossen and remove other bolt, closer to cowl, and pivot hinge on first bolt to the other and reinstall bolt. Tighten both fully at this point. Repeat on other side.
