[QUOTE="4x4TruckLEDs.com, post: 1366641, member: 24442"] That's how brackets work on the Raptors. To move the lights out from being slightly blocked on the inside, you slide them back/on an angle... which yes will bring them more recessed a bit... but outside of that you can't really do much with a bracket system AND keep it universal. If you did a sideways channel, that let's you slide the lights left/right, then you'd certainly solve that issue of blocking the light on the inside. BUT at the same time you create a new problem... which is the possibility of not being able to move the lights forward/back, preventing you from installing the lights if you use bigger lights and/or removing the bezel/lenses. You'd also have to have the bracket designed for one style light and the inability to mix/match goes out the window. With the SPP bracket, you can mix and match, as bmexline has done (with KC + Baja). Or go with Rigid/Baja as some customers have done. All other brackets do similar concepts with them. Baja locks you in. N-Fab locks you in (both have holes the bolts go in). Diode has a channel like the SPP, but has that mounting tab that causes the bracket to wobble/bend. Kinda gotta pick your battles. Losing a tiny corner of light to have them sit as far forward is worth it to me, in order to have full control over pointing the light left/right/up/down. You could as I said slide them on the channel, bringing them to the other side slightly and at the same time recessed more. That'll make it get past the opening but then you might not like the recessed look. Every bracket/bezel system out there fills a need. But they also have soar spots with some folks where they may not be able to do something another system does. Again, gotta pick your battles. [/QUOTE]
