Hey guys, I just finished installing the fog light kit on my Xterra and i was wondering about the position of the lights. There is a little bit of space all the way around both of the lights and it looks like they could be pushed forward to sit flush with the plastic. I couldn't get them to sit flush though so i was wondering if this is how they are suppose to be. If not, any tips on how to get them to sit properly?

I would like to know also because I have the same situation.

Did mine this weekend and I have the same issue. I need to look at an OR Xterra to see what they look like. Iwas told by someone else on the forumn that this is normal.

Also, it was suggested that the clip for the screw should be placed on the tab on the bumber versus the tab on the light bracket. I haven't gone back to make that change yet.

yea bueller, that is what i did. I figured that the clip should go on the bumper after working with it for little bit. I worked on it for a while but couldn't get them to sit flush. I really like having the fog lights but the install was a little scketchy. It just doesn't look clean...

Anyone SE owners care to post pics of their fogs and how much the gap is (if any at all) from the factory?

Well i dont have my camera with me, but I have a stock 07 SE and there is about a 1/4-5/16th of an inch gap between the lens and the bumper.

Well it sounds like this is somewhat normal. It's still kind of weird though.
