F3 Auxiliary Light Installation

[mstngken]

Installed. Working but...

Ok I installed the lights and got them working and lined up. The only issue I'm having is now the neck around the key is loose. Any help or suggestions?​

They are all loose if you are talking about where the switch goes

Its Ford Blue Flame from the 2015 Pickups. Its a color shifting paint. In a dark garage is has a shade of purple/grey in it. The pic is what it looks like in bright sun. I thought it turned out well on the F3. Looks much better than on the pickups.

The Can Am techs must have a special tool that allows them to easily turn those clips the 90 degrees, because with the light housing frame still attached to the Spyder, there is no room to work in there. The clips do not turn by hand, let alone easily. After A LOT of frustration and trying several tools to turn those clips - screwdrivers, pliers, channel locks, 13 mm socket, needle nose pliers, I finally was able to get one to engage. But that was it.

Hey folks! This is my first post, but I actually have something to give back that I hope others find useful (just like I found the OPs post to be)...

I grabbed these at Home Depot for about $17. A little pricey for something that I have never needed to-date and am not sure that I will really ever need again (although, one other project comes to mind as I type this). But if your time and / or peace of mind is as valuable to you as mine are to me, then it is well worth the expenditure!!



Took me HOURS on the left side to get two of the clips locked in before buying these pliers. The last clip took me 30 seconds (it took longer to get the pliers out of the packaging). ALL THREE CLIPS on the right side took me less than 2 minutes.

Hope this helps, and happy modding!!
