Stone guard headlight covers

[FORD*DIEHARD]

This seems like this should be as easy as changing a light bulb but I can not figure this out.

I have ways liked the old school look so I purchased a pair of the stone guard headlight covers from LMC. The description says "instructions are included " i thought why would you need instructions. When i received them i noticed there were no instructions, so i wasn't too worried "I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT, HOW HARD CAN IT BE".

Well after several hours of attempting to figure it out and more hours trying to search for instructions, the only thing I was able to find is that there are other people having the same issue, so I didn't feel as bad.

I contacted LMC who said they would send me the instructions. Several days went by, I reconnected LMC and they said they were unable to find the instructions.

So I would like to see pictures of your Bronco with how you installed these and if you could describe how you installed them? Would you have installed them a different way now or the next time you install them?

Thank you in advance for your time/help,

Sonny

Aren’t there 3 clips for each guard that attach to the bulb retaining ring?

Yes it did, cant figure out how to make them secure the guard. Clips are thin and flimsy.

I vaguely remember this being an issue for me when I got a pair about 15 years ago. Somehow I got them on...but they aren't there now, no idea why or remember taking them off (I'm sure they didn't fall off.) Could be that I had to jerry rig them on and figured it wasn't worth it.

Got a pic of the clips that came with yours DIEHARD?
The clips mount to the three retaining ring screws (not the dress-up rings) oriented so that the V-notches have their open end facing outward. (probably could be done with it inward, but that's not how any of mine were ever mounted).
The guards then snap (so to speak) on to the clips.

You may have to twist the clips a little, or rotate the guards a little, in order to get them to line up and insert through the nearest available opening in the grid.

Mine are not installed currently on either the Bronco or the pickup, so can't give you any close-up shots of an installed set.
So I'm only going by old memories for how it's done.

I have extra clips if you break one. I still have a set from my 79 F150 so they are rectangle

Dug up this old pic of my Toyota pickup, but it’s not clear enough to see the clips. Not a Bronco, but I loved that thing. I put them on the diagonal, rocked the vent shades too - actually just found those when going thru the garage. And no, they don’t fit the Bronco....
