I haven't done it but it shouldn't be hard. If it was me I would drill a hole in the top side, run the bolts through, and put the nuts and washers on.

I just installed a set on mine, factory ones were gone when I bought it. I would recommend pulling the bumper of when you install them.

x2. Mine didn't have them originally. However, I measured and searched out the place where I wanted mine and drilled the holes myself... Life is easier if you take the bumper off so that you have space to work in.
