SteelCraft® 34120 - Black Tail Light Guards

These match the front Steelcraft brush guard i have on my 2010 Xterra, easy to install and very good quality.

The instructions weren't the easiest to follow but once I figured out what they were saying, installation was super easy- much easier than I thought after reading the instructions. Also, the product looks great. I've had the guards on my 2010 Xterra for about two weeks now and even after getting saturated with snow and road salt, they remain flawless.

Excellent design and fairly simple install. Two items to make things easier. First, replace the original plastic tail light screw inserts that you are going to secure the metal screws into. The ones that are on my new 2013 were very cheap plastic and did not do a good job securing the guards. I replaced them with a heavy-duty plastic version from a license plate frame holder that is the same size square and fits and holds the guards perfectly and securely in place. Second thing would be to replace the round-headed metal screw that you attach behind the tail light with a flat headed screw as someone else had recommended. Otherwise, love them and they really make your Xterra stand out from the crowd!

These guards are heavy duty. When you get the guards, make sure the bracket did not get bent in shipping. The installation is easy. I would coat the steel guards with wax or other protectant before the installation. When you install the little tab use a flat head screw instead of the round head. This will let the tail light fit back on the car better.

Great look, easy installation. Tail light housing screws and washers aren't exactly flush with housing itself, but that isn't visible when hatch is down; very minor cosmetic detail, but I'm picky. The installation does call for drilling in the body of your vehicle, however, by reversing one clip on each side, this drilling is avoidable. I would recommend this product, as the price is lower than the competition, however, I still feel these are overpriced.

I agree with the previous review, the light guards are easy to install but they do not fit as perfectly as one would hope. If I try to attach the small bracket it pushes the guard in so much that I can't close the door without damaging it. I decided not to use them and they more or less fit without any issues but they do stick out a little bit and I don't have that extra support so if I was to hit the guard would completely bend in.

Overall quality is fine. But it does not fit perfectly. I cannot attach 3rd bracing to my stock tail lights. Is needed to create a new one.

Easy to install, look great, great investment and protection for my LED tail lights.

It took no more that 30minutes to install.

Just a little bit of confusion about delivery. Except for the passenger side which requires adjustment, installation was easy. Other than that it looks good on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma.
