i do believe people remove the bumper to put lights on it. Could be wrong though.

I didn't. \
/ If you look under the bumper, you'll see these 2 "holes" on each edge. If you drill on the top of the bumper, you'll get access to secure the light mounts there. The "holes" are oval shaped, btw.

Hey Fourus, I figured these would help:
The holes I drilled were 3 1/2" in from the edge of the bumper step and 1" out from the front of the grille. You might want to come out a bit more, but be sure you aren't drilling thru the bumper in front of where you can access from underneath.
Here you can see the opening Marlon is talking about. My front hitch is blocking part of it but you should get the idea of where they are.
Good luck drilling the bumper.

thanks for that Corwyn
when you drilled did you close your eyes and go from the top or
drilled a pilot hole first?

I just drilled from the top - the plastic keeps the drill bit located when you start to go thru the metal. A pilot hole would always help but I didn't use one and didn't have any problems.

I just added some lights too. I just did a small pliot hole first and then the 3/8" bit. No problem at all. It is really easy.
By the way, Kevin did you use and touch up paint or anything on the freshly drilled metal or just left her alone.

I just left it alone, but when I pulled the front plastic to install my front hitch I noticed there was some rust so I probably should have used some paint. I may pull the front clip off again and do some sanding then apply some primer or something before it gets too bad.
