Dear Collective, 

I'm about to install a quad headlight kit (Kirk's) and have questions about 
my buckets. When I replaced my headlight motor, I removed my driver-side 
bucket for easier access and noticed HUGE slop in the adjustment. I mean 
these holes were butchered by the previous owner and he even installed 
bolts with nuts rather than just tap out the receiving end on the bucket 
mount plate. Not realizing that was not correct, I just put it together the 
same way and had a difficult time adjusting the bucket to close right. This 
time, I tapped out the holes and drilled pilot holes to help with the 
alignment. 

My question is, even centered, the buckets do not fit cleanly in my fender 
when lights are closed. There is still a noticeable gap on both sides. Any 
tricks to make it less noticeable? 

Rob
