no the air deflector faces forward but I did try it the other way and if I was not using the air foil as a light mount I may have ran it that way |

Weird, the way you have it mounted is the way they show it is supposed to go on the website, but I do agree it looks like it should go the other way.... |

no the lights will be mouted up front thats what the aluminum angle is for I just turned the rack around to see what it looks like, The other pictures show where the 5 lights will be mounted the plate the lights are mounted on now will be removed also |
