I believe that's the housing and you jam your plug into it.
Not too sure. That was all I could really find on the Cabela's site.

Well, this has been real helpful. Thank you all for the quick responses. Now I just need to make some decisions and buy something so I am ready when it warms a bit.
Any thoughts on what would work best to make the whole in the bumper?

Use a new sharp hole saw with some cutting oil. Keep the RPM's on the drill slow so that you don't burn the metal. After your done cutting clean up the oil and prime the edges so that you don't get any rust.

I would use some electrical tape over where you are going to drill the hole it will help keep the chrome from chipping.
