Looks like you did a fantastic job on the rear fenders blending the tail lights. If you give Ric a call, he might be able to help you out. But it may be a few days until you can get hold of him...he's probably still getting situated after the Indy show.

Dwayne...the perfect brackets are are the j brackets on pmd's single rounds ..you can take the single round off there then drill through the bottom of the bracket and into your double rounds and a little screw will work perfect..that's what I did on my roll off..I used the lights off the roll bar on the f350 high lift to give it the bigger headlight look like from a 32 ford ..it's a shame to take singles off but they are perfect...
