Arcus bumper fog light bracket issue

[Garemlin]

Wondering if anyone has run across this with the fog light brackets with the Arcus bumper.

If you look at the first pic everything snugs up fine. In the second pic you can see the tabs from the heat sink are right against the bracket before even tightening.

Thoughts??

Is it just me or is the light not facing the wrong way in the bracket? That cross support on the bottom of the second picture should be facing upwards and from what I recall I believe the light faces the other direction, no? I mounted Baja designs lights, so I made my own brackets - well adapted the ones that came with the kit.

This is a poor quality image because the light is on, but I’ll snag another pic when I get outside to see if it helps.

So one, the light is behind the bracket and the other, the light is on front of the bracket?

LOL Thanks for being the one to make me feel like a moron. That was it. Can't believe I missed that.

Everything done. Looks like there is an issue with the drivers side fog light bracket.

And there's the problem. Looks like both brackets are bent to some degree.

Damn.... Now I am going to go look at my brackets. Ordered Arcus because of the Amazon deal, but Gladiator is still being built.

Yep. One of mine was tweaked too. Nothing a couple of love taps from mjolnir can't fix.

Mine kind of bugged me too… but whatever I’ll fix it one day.

What about where the weld nuts are??

I had zero issues with my Arcus. Maybe contact the manufacturer?

Fully plan to. But it is Sunday.

When I had the Acrus bumper, the welded on nuts weren't straight so bolts were cross threading. I cut two off and just used washers and new bolts.

Depending on the winch you go with. You'll need to push bumper and winch plate forward too. (Yes, i have spacers available)

They seemed straighter than yours, but I am a few weeks out from knowing for certain.

I saw your spacers on another thread. I might have to steal your idea if brother in-law has some scrap steel I can "borrow". Otherwise I might hit you up for a set if you still have them when I actually get to mount.
