    ***PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS***

    I have been having issues lately with receiving poorly packaged and damaged lights back from people. I understand this may happen, but i want to help make sure everything is done to avoid it. I ask everyone to try to package their lights exactly as i have them packaged so here is two simple pictures to show what i do. First I lay the bubble wrap on the bottom of the box, and drop the light in lens down. I center it in the box. (also note the bulb holes covered with tape)
    IMG_9995.jpg

    I then start stuffing paper packing material TIGHTLY around the light, keeping all parts of the light off of the sides of the box. Everything needs to be protected by the paper. By the time you finish this stage the light should be firmly planted in the box, it really shouldn't be able to move side to side at all.
    IMG_9996.jpg

    At this point it's just filling in the rest of the box with the packing paper. When it is packed correctly you can pick the box up and shake it and nothing inside should move at all.

    ***INSTALLATION***

    This write up from c4 fab is great to follow for bumper removal. That is 99% of what you need to do to remove the lights.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ont-winch-bumper-install-instructions.446516/

    For the retrofit guys, here is a great video from lightwerkz showing how to align your new projectors. The adjustment bolt on our lights is the silver 8mm bolt on the back of the light right next to the drl harness plug.

    Is bumper removal necessary? I’m always worried to do that bc it might not line back up perfectly.

    Only set left in stock is the retrofit set. No one wants a serious lighting upgrade?!
