I just drilled my bumper and violla. Their tiny el-cheapo lights, but with a bulb replacement, their decent for my needs... till I get my bar... then the Hellas are goin on.

those Hella 500s are what I plan on getting with my bar later on, but for I think about the same price, you can probably get them from a local parts store and save the shipping.
you could probably still mount them the same way too cause their pretty thin guys

Mount them like iamsuperbleeder did. My peice of advice. Don't use the wiring harness hella sends you. Rewire them with 12 guage wiring. My stock wiring harness cought fire first time I used them.

Yep. One relay they sent was bunk before I even got it. Don't trust it. I loved the way they packaged the wiring harnes.. All bent and crimped into a tiny little package.....wtf?! And the use of 16 guage wires....lame!!

yep, and use plenty of wire loom and zip-ties to keep it tidy; use it on all the main hot wires from the battery to the relays, then from the relays to the lights; keeps the posibily of rubbing a hole in your new wiring harness and grounding out down to a minimum
