Appears the side clips would protrude visibibly after installation?

The clips fold up into to the hole cut for the light fixture, holding the fixture in place. I installed mine in a drywall ceiling and therefore the clips protrude into the ceiling cavity and are not visible.

The clips are spring-loaded and fold up into the hole then snap down on the inside hold the unit snug against the surface. The clips are not visible once installed.

Hi Pam,The clips were hard for me as well. I wound up putting a drop "3 in 1" household oil on each hinge. Then aligning the top first, then attaching the others. HTH!

yes, you will want to find the rear fasteners clips probably. Makes mounting them easy.

No they do not protrude. They work great for the blind spot on the driver side. I have mine mounted on the outside lower portion of the side view mirror and they do not interfere with the side view mirror...just a quick glance at the blind spot mirror and you get a better feel for the traffic on your left. Highly recommend!

When I installed mine, I aligned one side, screwed it in, then pressed/pushed the other side into place and screwed it on. They should flex to fit. Not the best pair I've ever had. The adhesive doesn't even work for it, but cheaper than the $300 pair.

No. Not with clips, however, comes with additional hardware for a more permanent installation that would probably work.

no it is for one side only and they are a little tough to install but once you have I installed the clip works very well.

There were two clips with instructions. One clip is rectangular with one side missing. The other is rectangular and has all sides there. If you didn't get both return it and ask for a refund.

There is interlocking hardware embedded or preinstalled within each panel, so I don't believe additional clips are needed. I placed three of these 2 high panels side by side with a railing cap on top/bottom. Turned out great....Hope this helps.

I did not experience this issue... I do remember having some pieces backwards as I didn't interpret the instructions correctly as they were kind of vague; not sure if that could be part of the problem or not, but it is a possibility maybe... although I wouldn't think it is likely as there as only so many places to put the plastic clips!

The bracket is adaptable to side mount, it's how I mounted mine. Mine was chromed, not SS.

Mine fit perfect. I'm actually impressed by the exact engineering and design of the sidebars. Took me about 45 min to install.

With the clip facing out, I would clip it on the right side, and clip facing inward on the left side.

Install was easy but if your clips are old n brittle they'll need to be replaced

You may try to remove the gasket off the module if not installed in a damp location. Also try to open the clips wider and when pushing them into can light try to twist/ rotate the module as it goes.

I do not recall seeing clips in the box (and it was installed by my contractor), but there was a cut-out template included.

it's possible if you take the 2 support bars loose which are only held in place be the clips
