I just bought the set and it should be arriving this weekend for the install, so I'm here looking for some tips on those who have installed them on their car :D

So my questions are:

1. Did you have to take out the bumper to install them?
2. If drilling was required, where was it and how did you do it?
3. How did you wire it? Through the harness or through the switch they provide?

Any general tips on what to do or to avoid will help greatly!

 

bumper must come off
no drilling, but you do have to poke holes ( i used a punch)
you'll want to brace the mounting with some aluminum strapping, etc..
i used the wiring harness that came with the hella.. remember, it's a 3 way switch (on fogs, off, and on angel-eyes). i wired the angel eyes directly to the battery so you can turn them on with the ignition off, then i wired the actual fogs to a + signal from the ignition, so they turn off automatically when the ignition is off....

you'll have to take the bumper on and off many times, cuz it's hard to aim them once the bumper is mounted.. have a soft place to lay the bumper so it's not scratched. ..
