[QUOTE="jackrook, post: 599439, member: 11635"] lets keep this short and sweet. pop the hood and locate the ford hood brackets. do one side at a time. locate and cut the weather stripping using something that can cut stiff plastic. [ATTACH=full]226013[/ATTACH] once you have it cut it should look like this. im not too keen on keeping this straight and clean. im just not **** like that. yes i said ****. [ATTACH=full]226014[/ATTACH] remove the bolts holding down the factory mount and slide the M&R hood mount over the OEM mount and install the bolts. use a 10mm socket and an angled ratchet. also, make sure the mounts are slid as close to the front of the truck as possible to aid in proper hood closure fitament. its not science. [ATTACH=full]226015[/ATTACH] heres what it looks like with the hood closed. [ATTACH=full]226016[/ATTACH] now that the hood mount is installed, we have to install the light mount. slide the supplied bolt down through the light mount and into the hood mount and tighten the nut on from the bottom using a 3/4 socket and an adjustable wrench. [ATTACH=full]226017[/ATTACH] now attach the lights using the supplied allen bolts. thread one through each side. [ATTACH=full]226018[/ATTACH] now take this time to tighten everything, make sure its lined up how you want it, and apply loctite if desired. the lights are measured 5.5 inches across and 4.5 inches from top to bottom. this is including the housing, not just the lenses. [ATTACH=full]226019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226020[/ATTACH] and here is the finished product!!! [ATTACH=full]226021[/ATTACH] the light output is amazing. youre getting 16,200 unobstructed lumens. these are very bright. my pictures dont do it justice. [ATTACH=full]226022[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226023[/ATTACH] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- final thought: i have seen the Rigid D2 and Vision X light cannons in person. i am telling the honest truth when i say that these M&R Hood Mounts blow both of them out of the water. these are brighter and produce more usable light. i work hard for my money and wont endorse a product i feel is not worth what i payed for it. simply because i dont want my fellow Raptor owners feeling as gyped as i was. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES. i paid for these lights. M&R is not endorsing me in any way. THESE LIGHTS ARE A BETTER BUY THEN THE RIGID D2S AND THE VISION X LIGHT CANNON!!!! they are very bright and my pictures do not do justice. if youre looking for a set of hood mounted lights, these should really be your only option. the quality is second to none and Mike and Roman are firm believers in good customer service. GET THESE LIGHTS!!!!! [/QUOTE]
