Awesome write up!

I’ll admit that I’m a bit intimidated to attempt taking the bumper cover off!

Really like the write up and the look. I would have liked to put mine in the same position as yours but with the size of mine they would have blocked the entire entry of the brake cooling ducts. Yours look pretty compact so looks like you’ll still get good flow.

The Rigid lights have very good spread so they worked out fine.

After reviewing my options I am going to pull off the front bumper cover to allow for a 'perfect' fit. I might need to notch some of the vertical support. Someone posted a link to the bumper cover removal PDF and I grabbed a copy last year. Before I use the fog lamp slot I will put a meter on it to confirm it is live. Should be fun!
Hey buddy, i came here from IG after you sent the link for the install. the lights look awesome! would you mind sharing the bumper removal pdf? im definitely looking to add these to mine.

I finally got around to doing this. The instructions above were super-useful; thank you! I installed Rigid 6" SR-Series SAE ambers.

Notes:
The small brackets should be used, make sure that they are included in your order.
I did not remove the bumper - I made 2x stainless steel plates 12" x 2" x 3/16" thick and slid them underneath the bumper sill after drilling clearance holes in the bumper sill. The lights were bolted to these.
I ran the cable through the passenger side (NA spec) brake cooling vent into the engine bay.
I used the empty fuse space suggested - some trimming of the lid necessary.
My supplied harness was too short to run into the vehicle cabin - I extended it.
I used the Lucky8 switch panel - it looks really good fitted and the switches are good quality.

Hello, this is my first post here.

I am amazed at the fog lights bkjecu94 installed.

Does anybody know where I could source this particular set of led lights?

I am in the EU but willing to order from anywhere. Any tip would help.

Do you have any pics, tips on your switch install? Been interested in doing that one.
Also, where, exactly, did you run the cable through? I'm having a hard time finding it.
Lastly, why/how did you get those steel plates under the bumper sill?

Thanks and love the installs!
