Default How to Run Non-Factory Foglights in Your Shrockworks Bumper

Here's the start: Those (2) funky things that come with your SWs bumper and a couple of PIAA 520 Ion Crystal Driving Lights


I welded some tabs to the bottom of the funky thingies
(here's more views than you need but enough to get the idea)






Now here's with the light attached:





Installed:






Always good to have more lights at Christmas!!!

Thanks Creek - my welding still sucks, but it is getting better. That's why there are grinders!

And your correct I do love welding and its really convenient to have a welder at work I can use. My boss said today we're going to get a TIG welder too!

Actually, Dave (XterraVT) was the first. That's where I got the idea from. So Kudos to him. Anyway, back to the light mounting. I'm really diggin it Oz - to the point that I may copy it.

Did you wire them to the stock switch? Or through an aftermarket switch?
