Great video - thanks very much - this helped me do this on my 2018 F150 Lariat with the tow mirrors. Note that mine had five 7mm screws instead of 8mm referenced in yours, but the T10 was accurate.

Just an fyi, I drill and add cameras and all sorts of stuff to transit vans for a living. Take a piece of metal tubing and cut it to a length just shorter than your drill bit and it will stop the bit from going too deep. Just make sure the metal tube wont scuff any paint that will be seen

Clearance lights help identify the edges of larger vehicles to help others see you at night and also to help you know your own vehicle dimensions while you try to fit into or around things.. like fitting in a parking garage etc..

Did mines on 7/15/2023, for the ones that are still wanting to install and want a close update. Going back 6.75 is perfect. Enough to avoid the aluminum bar for trucks with sunroof. Also they ask for middle ones to be gapped at 7 inches from the middle one. I notice that on f250s that come with them they have em much closer rather than the 7inches. One thing i would do if i was to help a buddy out with their truck is give it a gap of 6.25 inch insead if the 7 inch gap so it can look more like oem. Idk why they put 7 inch gap. They def need to update their dimension paper

See, 7inch center to center sounds a whole lot better & much like OEM, i wish i would of measured OEM 3 middles ones first. The drawing RECON gives you shows 7inch gap im between them, not center to center. Which sucks because now i can see a big difference when looking at my 3 middles ones & OEM ones. Is now been 7 months and i still cant go to sleep happy. Im thinking of fixing that soon just because it bothers me so much.
