3) Is the mount welded to the bumper and if so, I'd assume the bumper is painted;
4) If the mount is not welded to the bumper, what did you use to cover the edge of the cut-out.

A pic from the back of the bumper, inside the wheel well perhaps, would be worth a thousand words.

If you can, thanks, if you can't, thanks anyway.

1. Weld
2. Both
3. Yep, welded and painted.
4. Better pic from my 07:

Not that I have noticed....but I don't have an accurate coolant temp gauge, just the factory one on the dash.

Hey DCSpecial, I was wondering how you ended up wiring your lights. Did you follow the instructions and tie into the high-beams or go an alternate route? Your help is much appreciated.

Here's my wiring diagram. The driving light curcuit needs to be activated then the driving lights come on with the high beams.

Hope it helps.

I like the way DC mounted the lights in the front bumper....Im thinking about doing that only thing is that I think I need special brackets to weld in.
