Thread: Drilling the bar for lights...?

Got a picture of where and how you're intending to mount them Will?

If you're talking about drilling through the plastic bumper skin in front of the grille, then underneath is the headlamp washer tubes. From memory the fog light and parking sensor harnesses go a little lower.

However, the metal reinforcer for the bumper is quite low, you won't reach it with a standard drill bit I don't think

Yep, in front of the grille, unsure exactly where, was hoping to hit a good thick metal section just under the skin. Don't have front sensors.

Interested to!

You could always use an Aunger mount that bolts behind the number plate.

May not be ideal, but could get you out of trouble.

Dont drill anything Will,
There is a 3-4 inch gap from the top of the plastic bumper to a "Metal" surface.

Cheers

Thanks Pete, I knew you'd pop up with the info. So where do I mount them without buying a bar or A bar?

Thanks for the idea Basil, personally I'm a bit wary of risking $550 of lights on something that small...
