Here is the install thread with a link to the article I used. Everything else is pretty well covered except my plug didn't get ripped off. Its just a pain to use with the plow hooked up and fish it out the grill every day.

I put one in a couple of winters ago. The hardest part is drilling a hole through
a perfectly good bumper!
They do look great and work very well. So much cleaner than that plug hanging out through the grill.

Edit: BTW: great pics, c00n.
