Default 1999 ford ranger. Mustang domelight woes

Am I wrong in saying that installing the mustang dome is not just a bolt on??? cause i had to move the stock wiring plastic mount that towards the front of the truck. And on the mustang dome I had to cut the plastic stock off that hit the roof before the mount was flush. Im just bringing this up cause im very mechanically inclined and it was not just a bolt in for me. Also which ways do the leds plug into the stock bulb holders so they are oriented right. thanks for your help guys.

well, that is a spacer, so you dont over tighten the dome. You will notice if you did cause the lense wont fit right. I thought the same thing on mine, I could tighten it up way to far and the dome curved.

k. So you know wat im talking about. Maybe im just to picky and expected it to fit more snug. Cause if you look the rectangle plastic on the wires that have their own channel in the dome dont line up with the mustang ones
