Tightness of the Arteb headlights to the OE grill: (cont'd from post #84)
Some Arteb owners have mentioned the "tightness" of the headlights to the grill, e.g., see my post #84 and @Supercharged111's post #45, @df2x4 in post #47, to name a few.
I've wondered whether one could "wiggle" the brackets around a bit, while their mounting bolts are loose, to gain some clearance from the grill. But I also know the brackets have molded-in "pins" to index them into holes on the radiator support, which disallows much wiggle-action.
I've posted a picture of the indexing pins (below, circled in red).
Perhaps someone could eliminate the pins (cut or file them), and perhaps even hollow-out the bolt holes, to gain some wiggle room.
BUT ALSO, as @someotherguy points out in post #49, there is a hole in the radiator support, behind each bracket, that may need to be made bigger as well. That hole is critical because it provides room for the adjusters to work (specifically, the Up/Down adjuster; see picture attached showing the adjuster screw peeking out of the bracket hole).
