Review on πŸš™ Rugged Ridge 12496.02 Euro Guard Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU, Black - 10 Piece Set by Mark Gardner

Save money, just install taillights, headlights and turn signals

Serious problems installing side marker lights and fog lights. The fog lights just don't fit my 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. It is necessary to remove the air damper (no problems except with broken fasteners). If installed correctly, the old screws should be used to reinstall the lights. The problem is that the stock bolts are too short, and as another reviewer pointed out, the silver bumper insert gets in the way of installation (Rugged Ridge says so on their website). The instructions for installing page markers are so vague as to be useless. Again, the fit of the guard puts a lot of stress on the marker's lens, which can cause damage. Tip: No need to remove the flashlight lens, remove the flashlight body and protective cover in place. Be careful not to break the lens. The tail, headlight, and turn signal guard were easy to install, although the turn signal guard needs a bit of tinkering. These fenders look great, but the side markers and fog lights are very difficult to get right. As with many do-it-yourself automotive products, ease of installation is the key to successful completion. The Rugged Ridge manual is missing details and tips.
