the harness is crud it has two types of connectors not made to go together ( so when your all done and a week later they start unplugging themselves )and the mounting hardware is incomplete and directs you to go get more parts were they could have spent 1 buck and included the inserts or metal tapping screws ,, also the black out models were cheaply painted black over chrome plating and peels
and yes I did let them know
I would just go OEM for these if I had to do it again
I hve since siliconed and taped all the mismatched connectors and have only had the paint peeling issue

the recon plugs will just come undone but won't pose a fire hazard
what they used was a light bulb base on the harness that was meant to receive a two prong bulb and then twist into a housing the light have a whip and a plug that mimics the base of a light bulb there are five of these and the fit is loose and the base just dangles inside the cab I hope they improved it and the peeling paint issue on the smoked ones
[I was looking for some pics but found this ! it shows exactly what the issue is and maybe a fix or better yet the way it should be made

when you see a big pic like that somtimes you need to give a guy some time to fix it ..
I had no idea it was going to look like that untill it happened
then it takes a minute to fix it
lol anyway
I did better ..I posted a link to a article on the issue
