The Ford Barn

Can the headlight bar be shifted from side to side (180 degrees) or does it have a specific orientation? I have one that does not allow enough room to install one of those stone guards. It looks like it may have more room if it is reversed.

No, it definitely cannot.

The flat part for locating the horn bracket is on the left side. Check your's to be sure.

If I am not mistaken, the orientation is marked on the mounting pad that goes next to the fender.
