If they're OEM(or exactly like oem) taillight guards, and are off of an 03-05(i think) H2, your gonna need 3M double sided tape(the grey stuff) to install em.
Put the double sided tape on the "tab" of the taillight guard thats going to sit against the taillight housing.
Tabs go on the out side(drivers side are on the left, and pass on the right). The "tabs" as i call them are the 90 degree bends that you think are going to tuck behind the tail light housing, but dont...(found that out the hard way..
)
you need a Torques head (#25 i think) to remove the 2 screws from the tail light housing. there should be a hole on the bracket of the lightguard. Line the holes up, put the screw back in, n tighten. your going to have to "tweak" the tail light guard a bit so that it doesnt hit the rear hatch everytime you open and close the door..
< yeah that too...
The light guards for newer models use screws instead of tape from what i understand, and i have no idea how they attach...

Oh and BTW, you're right, it's sooo much nicer with the "tweaked Message Thingys"

Driver side again, showing the "tabs" (my tail light guards are off an 06, thats the reason for the hole in the tab)
