Thanks Allen. I would indeed be interested to see some close-up photos of
the brackets.
However, before you dismantle everything, could you please send a few photos
showing what the lights look like on the car, using these brackets? I'm
interested in where they locate the lights, relative to the centerline as
well as height and distance from the body.
To me, where the lights are positioned is critical to gettng the right look.
Thanks again.
