If you look at both headlight guards, you will see they both have different bends at the bolt on location. Which one is correct, and which one has been altered? Or have they both been monkey'd with?

Nice work Aaron!

Headlight guards. First photo, left end in the photo is correct.
Should come off the plane of the grill at 90 degrees.

I'm sure you already found out.
Take care,
