Hella 450/550 IN stock bumper?
Anyone ever put Hella 450s or 550s (or any rectangular lights for that matter) inside a stock front bumper on a 97+? As in, cut holes and "recessed" them into the OEM bumper. Not behind the plastic valance, but inside the bumper itself. I think they'd fit and should look fairly clean. I've seen folks do the JK round fog lights, but was thinking about a larger rectangular light. Just wondered if anyone had experience or pics. Thanks.

In the chase scene from "The Goonies", the XJ that appears in it has two KC daylighters cut into the front bumper so I don't see why you can't do it. My only concern is where would you be able to mount the lights to?
