    You remove the corner piece and then there is a small amount that needs trimmed just beyond that. It is very minimal!

    I dont believe anyone hasnt asked yet. I read through the instructions a few times and at first thought it was too involved. But looking back, it seems worth it. Id like to request an installation video since CBI does some installs too. Will be purchasing in the next few weeks and would love a video install! My 2015 Taco is my precious!! Haha thank you guys in advance.

    That is a great idea. We will have to put a video together the next time that we do an install! We will post it once we get that done.

    CBI, if you guys make a video for proper installation, I'm sure many people would be less intimidated by the procedure and lead to more purchases I myself am waiting for the video before I buy. Keep us posted!! There is interest in these

    I just did mine yesterday it's easier than you think. The only problem I had was the driver side mount didn't line up straight so I drilled the holes a step bigger

    Nice! I'm glad to hear it's easier than it looked. It seems very worth it. I'm just iffy about trimming the cowling. How was that part?

    Just installed them. Trimming is not difficult at all. I used palm sander removing minimal material.

    A question I would like to ask is would these produce any annoying wind noise at all at highway speeds? How's everyone's experience with wind noise if any on these light brackets with lights.

    installing mine now. instructions on where to put the bracket are good up to the point of them telling you what holes to put the bolts in they are a little off on the front hole.
    also with the bolts in the right hole my bracket is off a bit on the rear hole. I'm going to have to file it down to get the bolt to fit.

    PICS TO COME.

    No wind noise. Drove on highway and freeway. Driving at least 80mph and nothing.

    Nope. That is really bad! I wonder if you got a wrong bracket? Did you have to drill out a hole? I'll take pics of mine tomorrow if I have time.
