Well, I mean, it was a "no brainer" that the tail light assemblies had
to be removed before these things could be installed. But the goofy
thing is that you've got to then slip the whole light assembly into
the guard enclosure from the top end. You cannot do it from the
bottom end of the guard, it's narrower than the light assembly itself.
If you could you wouldn't need to unplug the wiring harness. Why
couldn't the light guard have been engineeered just a little wider so
you wouldn't have to screw with the wiring harness? Aside from not
including proper hardware, *this* is what really frosts my ass.

They designed the guard to follow the contours of the body so it would fit
cleanly and smoothly. If they made it so it was not tapered, then it would
not fit flush at the top.

I agree that they should include the correct screws, but the rest of your
complaint lacks merit. There is too much beer to drink to spend time
worrying about stuff like this.
