They Glare off alot back at me i have them pointed down and it doesnt seem to help and i had too cut the back to get them to fit, now my lights are full of dust from trips, so there just more of a pain rather than a mod lol

yup i had it for a little bit it doesnt fit 100% snug to the cab so it leaks a little bit think it was more for a toyota pickup or ranger so i just took it off, its for sale if your interested
