Hey guys! I want to get some lights in my jeep and just screw them into the OEM bumper. Couple of thing first... How would I secure them to the OEM bumper and how would I wire them? I don't really have any electrical experience so could I do this still? Thanks guys!

 

 

what kind of lights first? any type specifically? i got my kc fogs in a kit and it came wit instructions, and hardware to secure it, but i would still recommend u understand how the circuit would work. it really helps to put it together wit ease.

 

For the third picture it shows the supply wire of the switch going to hi lo ignition. What is that?

 

KC but what's the difference between a fog light and driving light if there is any difference?

 

i think fogs are only good to a certain distance while driving the light is farther. lol i think thats the difference, but dont quote me on that.

 

that is your "lead" or source. which means if you tap into your low beam cuircuit you will only have the option to use them with the low beams, the moment you switch to high beams or switch off the AUX lights will turn off, same thing with using your high beams as a source. they will cut out you switch down to low beams. when you tap into any ignition 12v source the lights will only turn on when the key is in the "on" position but you can use it with your high/low or no lights on. completely manual.

fox light is a broader shorter pattern
driving light is a pencil beam

 

When it comes to tapping in to the wires. I want to keep it simple as possible which means I'm not going to probably tap in and just have it manual.

 

Also, did you put them through an OEM bumper? Thats what I pan to do

 

well in my truck it had, keyword had, factory fog lites on the bumper so i already had a place to mount them. my fogs also came wit a little piece to have the lite bolt to the bumper and the lite. it was rite on the lite when i ordered them.

 

How would I secure the light? Am I able to reach "into" the bumper and secure the light? Also, what's the best way to drill into the bumper?

 

honestly, i have just a nut a bolt holding my lites on which is holding the bracket for the lite. and yeah you can reach under the jeep and get access from under the bumper but its a tight fit and im a skinny dude. i cant help u wit the drilling part, i already had the factory fog mounting place.

 

That's why I'm think about getting something made by Detour called a Bumper Brow Lite Bar.
