HOTLAP let me know about a clamp set that went on very easy and gave me the look that I was looking for.
since I was stock I had the plastic cable housing to cut. Where the cables run through two housings on each side I cut it to release the light wire. I am still looking for a fix there(tape, eliminate, ideas???).
The allen wrenching of the clamp was easy enough, but I broke one of them as it got pretty hard to turn. It broke in a good way where the head came off but the bolt is tightly holding the clamp in the right place. Lucky, but Im pissed that I broke it. too strong?
other than that I'm super stoked to have those lights off the controls.

 

Hate to tell you, but you're pointing them at the ditch...need to straighten those babys out a bit...

 

Yup. it is cold and late. but I AM looking for a little desviacion to the outside. Maybe not that much.
