Did you have to take off the grill or anything special to get to some room to run the wires? Also, did you find the two holes in your bumper?

Nope, I didn't have to do anything special really to run the wires. It was a bit of a pain getting the wires through the firewall. I did not find the 2 holes, so I just measured 2 1/2inches from the plastic side covers, marked it with a wax pencil, tapped a grove with an old screwdriver and just drilled the hole. If you wanna know anything else let me know

How did you get through the firewall? No need to install a relay to keep the high current out of the dashboard, I guess? I'm a novice myself. I'm thinking of installing the same lights on my '93 Cherokee.

trace the hood latch cable back through the firewall to get through. all you have to do is poke a hole in the rubber seal
