Post a pic of the bumper as it arrived. Maybe the parts all spread out so we can see what you got to start off the install with.

Sorry did not take a pic before I started as I actually started last night.

Question should I use the daylighters or go without them?

I like them if you don't think they obstruct your forward vision too much!

IMO I think they should go to the left and the right of the winch roller if at all possible.

I'd mount them upside down from where they are now, so they are under the top of the grille hoop if that's possible. Not sure if there's enough room though.

I do like the idea of putting them around the winch roller.
