Trouble installing lights on avid light bar

At first I got PIAA 520 ATP's, they did not fit. Now I'm trying to mount a pair of lightforce lance 140's, and also having trouble. When the lenses are aimed straight forward, the mounting bracket will not line up. Pic below. What should I do ... find some way to shim that difference (no idea how), or bend the light bar's mounting tabs down? It's also touching the bumper too, slightly. But I think they can be mounted with maybe a sixteenth of an inch between the bracket and bumper. Any ideas?

 

Hmmmm....no idea since I dont have any lights mounted on mine. Have you tried PM'in any of the people that do have lights mounted on theirs? That would probably be your best bet.

 

yes only 1 wih this configuration, got PM's in from long ago. He hasn't been on in awhile.

 

Oh okay. Try posting on this thread since there is so many people subscribed to it.

I couldn't get my hella 500's to point straight forward by dropping them in the tab, so I added some washers underneath it to make up the difference, worked perfect for me.

 

turn the bracket on top around,and shim.or elongate the hole

 

Any luck getting the lights to fit right?
