Where’d you pick them?Not perfectly straight but close enough for some overlap of the beam patterns in front of the vehicle. The angle brackets are just rubber spacers. They could probably be trimmed with a utility knife to change the angle.

Any photos of the updated front bumper installed (modular cutout for lights rather than holes drilled and more front facing fairlead cutout)
Also, I have heard there is a flip up front license plate option. Does anyone have pics or details on where and how this sits?
I kind of like the idea of the blank off plate/ insert and almost prefer it. The issue with having the cutouts in the wings is that you're limited to the 3x3 light bolt pattern. I had a set of Baja Designs Squadrons that I would have loved to use but ended up having to get the Rigids because of the form factor. With inserts, you can cut blanks to fit the light of your choice and buy a new set of inserts if you swap them out for different ones, instead of new bumper wings. I'm sure it's also much easier for @benc to fabricate and stock just one base set of bumper wings, which means shorter lead times and better prices for us.I'll have mine installed in about 2 weeks, getting it coated currently. I am curious to see how the cutout works as I wasn't aware this was how mine would come. Not sure if I am going to like the disruption of the lines on the bumper, but I'm sure I'm just being a gear queer about it.

How straight are they after adding the angle brackets?Got my aluminum front w/ 3x3 cutouts mounted up. Winch is a Warn M8000 with synthetic line, Factor 55 1" thick fairlead and flat splicer with rope guard. Fog lights are Rigid D-series SAE, custom tinted selective yellow with angle mount brackets.

Oh man, this should make fabricating, building, customizing, installing and modifying a breeze!Wings with plates. They’re threaded so I assume it has to go on the top. I haven’t painted hardware yet obviously. Install is this weekend. Ignore my greasy hand prints. View attachment 2051003View attachment 2051004
Not perfectly perpendicular but close enough for me. The brackets are a soft urethane-type material and could probably be modified pretty easily to angle the lights as desired. Honestly, I'd love to see someone machine these out of UHMW with a couple of angle options. The RIGID one's are pretty disappointing, but there's nothing else really out there that does the job.How straight are they after adding the angle brackets?
I'd double check the install. Lights like that are usually LEDs embedded in epoxy , and as long as they're wired properly you should have very little chance of failure. Remember LEDs are polarity sensitive unlike incandescent bulbs.Has anyone had issues with the supplied bullet lights (3/4” round lights) that work as turn signals? Mine were working fine but one of them doesn’t light up anymore. Probably like 2 minutes of total use (truck is at the shop still so I’ve turned it on several times to test everything), so pretty much brand new. Kinda disappointed.
What do you mean by wired properly? They came pre-wired and were working fine before. Not sure how it’s a wiring issue on my end. Only one of the bullet lights burnt out in a series of five on the passenger side.I'd double check the install.

Ah, I wasn't aware they came from Dissent pre-wired. I'd still check the install though, as there is a chance that a connector wasn't crimped properly, or a solder joint failed (I don't know how they wired them). I still think there is a pretty small chance that the light itself is bad.What do you mean by wired properly? They came pre-wired and were working fine before.

Unless the kit came wired half-assedly (if that’s even a word).
That’s what I’m thinking too. LEDs have a very long life. Definitely longer than a couple of minutes haha. I’ll pull them off on Sunday and see what I can find.Ah, I wasn't aware they came from Dissent pre-wired.

Sorry for the surprise!Oh for sure I agree that its much easier for production and I am sure it will be fine. I just wasn't expecting it.
