Hey guys,

I still cant get them in, all 3 guides are in their tabs, the hooks on the bottom of the lights are there, the light pushes in and is it does it rotates the locking tool, i push the tool towards the back of the car, it makes a click noise but it doesnt lock in place.

Tried it a 100 times and it just wont work, so im taping up the lights and taking it to the dealership next week, i thnk im giving up

I had this same exact issue, but I found out after ordering a new mounting bracket. So I use a socket on a ratchet and it works marvelously.
