good job s-e-x, if this holds up without scratching the paint where the clip thing is sandwiched, mine might no longer be for sale...
How-to: Install Tail Light Guards
Okay, i put tail light guards on my x and I just wanted to share. Its pretty straight forward but you are supposed to drill holes in your X. this is my half assed solution on doing it without drilling. The instructions keep referring to pictures, but guess what... there are no pictures with the instructions.
Okay first open your tail gate and remove the two screws holding the taillight on with a 10mm socket. After that just pull (straight back) firmly on the light housing. The only thing holding it on are two plug type things stuck in two holes... one of which is pictured here

Next, take one of the small plates that came with the guards and screw it in the small hole with one of the small screws (the most curved part of the plate is the side you screw in).... pictured here

**Note I left it loose because it didnt fit perfectly. Once you attach the whole thing you will probably have to remove it a couple of times to bend the small plate so it fits better. I had to bend it a little before it fit right.
Next, connect the tail guards using the screws and washers provided. Make sure when you connect it back that you push the light housing in enough to where the plug thingys go back into their holes all the way.

Lastly screw the small screw in all the way (the one that is holding the small plate)

Remember you will probably have to bend the little plate a couple of times before it can be sandwitched in there just right. Do the other side the exact same way. After that you should be good to go, and you dont have to screw into the body of your X!! :cheers:
