    My first thought was the D2s would go in the square holes but with the mounting hardware that came with the bumper and lights seemed to fit up with the round hole. :confused:

    What's to reasure me if I had pissed and moaned and sent it back, it would get rectified? Lemonade out of lemons boys. Now I'll have bad ass lighting. Plus there's no way I could wait another 3 months!

    It's all good in the hood. My winch comes this week and I'm going to have a hard time driving for the first few days with a bumper boner.

    Finished bumper and winch install. Had to extend some holes on my skid plate, but was fairly easy. I got some D2's, but need to fab some adapter plates to fill around them and fab some metal plates to cover the backside to prevent theft

    I was suppose to get extra cutouts for fog lights on the front plate, and there were three holes on top for lights that I didn't order. But man does that batman cutout look sick. overall I'm happy with what I got.

    Yep, I'm good with what I got too. In the process of making backer/fill plates to put in with my D2s. Should get it all mounted up by the weekend. So pumped.

    I just took a flat stock piece of 16g Stainless Steel and cut it to fit around the D2 and sandwiched between the mounting L brackets. It's not perfect, but I think it should do the trick. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

    It's captive by the little L mounting bracket. I'll see when the bumper is mounted how I did eye balling the aim of the lights.
