Hey everyone! My Hella's should come in today or monday and I don't know where to mount them. I know for sure on the bumper. SHould I put them on the plastic corner piece that juts out, spaced out on the metal bumper or should I put them right next to each other on the bumper. Help me out! Thanks

i put mine on the bumper on the sides where the grill ends. Then I put two more on the front of the bumper where the license plate holes were. (Being we dont have to have a front one.)

I don't think it would look good on the plastic. Mount them on the exposed metal part of the bumper

I'm always running stuff over and hitting my front. If I were you just move a rack mount to the front and put the lights on there

been dealing with the same dilemma myself. My hellas have been sitting in the back for a month now. Partly cuz i cant decide on a location and the other part cuz ive been lazy lol.

JMAC- do you have any closer pictures of the mounting on the top of the bumper. I tried to lay out the holes to be drilled the other day an it seemed like it was going to be very close to the outside edge of the bumper. Any further in and the lights would contact the grill and I wouldnt be able to adjust them up.
