Forgot to include in my post to factor out the fuse pulling option :P
Oh well, who needs auto-leveling anyway?

My headlights are the glossy eyelashed 2012's and I had to trim the brackets to fit that cover. It was the only way to get them to fit properly.

Having said that though, I do notice there's a tad more side bumper gap on the passenger side, not a lot but noticeable if you compare both sides closely. Anybody notice that on your car? Any solution?

Yes I have the same problem with my bumper. Will be pulling out again sometime this weekend to see what's up.

Sewell lights don't come with new brackets so you would still need to trim anyway. Or like Joe said just go buy the new 11+ brackets from the dealership for an F. I'm sure they are cheap. However my bumper still fits fine how it did before.

I'm not even sure. I probably would have bought them before instal but I didn't even think about it. Just plastic so can't be too much

$59 each with CL discount according to Sewell...

(At least I think these are the right parts: # 5211653070 and # 5211553070)
