I pulled one of my tow hooks and that looks like my only access, the lights may be mounted in the same location as the 02-04, but the bumper is different so you can't really use my previous posting dimensions. I knew there was gap between the bumper and frame but now knowing where they are and all and also knowing there is about 1/2-3/4" I am probably gonna find a spacer somewhere to place between so I don't cause any more extra wear on my bumper.
Those are the 3 mounting holes for the tow hook. All I need to know is this where I need to install.

I picked up my harness from Jeg's when it went on sale for $125.00. Yes, you can probably make one or pick one up for cheaper. I neither had the time or the patience to make one up and with the Painless setup I knew I was getting the best and was only going to have to do this once and right the first time. If you want some facts and figures, here is a very good read on the subject.

For you guys that installed the headlight wiring harness, where did you pull power from? I know the article says to pull from the alternator but that also seems to leave the wiring in a more "exposed" way then maybe the battery or such.

I've got the same problem. That's why its taking me a good 2 weeks to get them on haha. I think I've finally found a way to install them though I'm about to start now so I'll post up pics when I'm done.

Hey. Thank you all, and those do look good. I think I may just give up on the hellas for now. I can't find any plans for the install on the 06. And I don't really feel like taking the bumper off and all... I may just find some OEM or something and put them grill. And it got cold again so it will be a while till I wanna spend time outside anyways.0

Don't worry, I was working on putting them on for 2 1/2 weeks :disgust: Trust me you'll get it eventually!

Hey. Did you bolt yours right where I had my picture? Right where the tow hook covers up? It looked like it was too far back but I may be wrong.

I drilled mine into where the larger square hole was so I could fit my hand in there (barely). I used a screwdriver with the nut and lockwasher glued onto the bottom of it so I could get it started then get the final torque with a knuckle on the ratchet (it was at a real bad angle I would keep cross threading it if I tried using a regular extension.)
