What did u do to your raptor today?

LED's

I installed LED lights in the map and license plate lights and wow what a difference over stock bulb. I have the dome LED light on the way, I'm not sure if I'll do any others.

and on 9 hours total sleep in the last 3 days...... the other bracket is offset 1 inch on the other side. so instead of a nice clean cut like i had planned, now i got a 2" hole for my hood mount. damn...... im going to bed now.

Sorry to hear that you messed up. I didn't get no cut hood mounts either, looking back on it not the best decision. Mine were RPG. But I just took my time and went really slow and they turned out pretty good.

Gotta do reverse lights and the ones up high that shine out
over the bed. Huge difference looks and light output.

Not my intentions, just buy a new cowl and no cut mounts or just ignore it. I actually trimmed the RPG bracket so I didn't have to cut as much plastic.

i pretty much decided to not let it bother me. one of these days, i will get a new one. it doesnt look bad unless you actually look at it. and i cant see it from inside the truck, so who cares right?

Ya you've got a point. Id just leave it alone. Unless I decided to take my hood mounts completely off. And in that case you'll want a whole new cowl anyway.

I thought there were mounts out there that didn't require trimming? Wsi?

Idk about WSI but SQHQ and alternative offroad have no cut mounts

No-cut mounts would be nice, but they weren't available when I did mine. It was a pain in the butt with the Dremel; however, it was worth the effort.

Most of these tiny mistakes drive the person doing the install crazy, because they know it's there. Much harder for other people to notice what you did wrong.
