    Default I would not recommend Arc LED Daytime Running Light / Fog Light Replacement Kit

    If you have a 2021 Spyder F3s I would not recommend the Arc LED Daytime Running Light / Fog Light Replacement Kit for the Can-Am Spyder F3. They can not be mounted as instructed, you can out the washer provided on the 3rd outside bolt, it simply will not fit, after the fog lights are mounted they sit too far back in the housing and they is a gap of space around the lights making then look tacky when the lights are off. if you look at the reviews on the website there isn't one bad review, I tried to leave my 1 start review , but i kept getting an error message, go figure..

    Damn. I just bought those lights. Haven't had a chance to install them yet, too cold in the garage.

    Do you have pics with yours installed?

    "C'mon man!"
    ...........
    Really? The point of a Mod KIT is for it fit properly, work, and have readible and understandable instructions to properly mount as well as all parts to fit!
    One has spent good money for the kit, we are NOT the BETA testers!

    So 2 things, your spyder is a 2019, and i still see a gap around your light where i can see the mounting bolt, maybe I'm expecting too much from an aftermarket part.

    This response would be warranted if i tried to put harley lights on my f3, being that I bought lights that were made for an F3 i shouldnt have to do anything esle but bolt it on as instructed.

    Maybe I enjoy a challenge more than most do. Like making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. For over 40 years, I had a machine repair biz and can not count the times I had to improvise to make things proper. BTW, there's an inexpensive shroud that fits in that recess and fills in the blank area. Gotta get it from a dealer. Maybe that's what's missing.

    Yeah I see what you're saying about the spacing. Aside from that, how do you like the functionality of the lights??

    I can do the OP one better; I have a pair of shrouds that I did not use because I added spacers between the mounting plate and the light bracket in order to extend them more farther out of their hidey holes. Looks better too. He could do that too, instead of complain.

    If the OP will PM me, I can arrange to sell him my pair.

    C'mon guys, I'm trying to help this guy out. I can't help it that I have lived well beyond my use by date. Us old farts aren't known for being overly patient, you know.
