    so I got the light mounted over the weekend and it was def a learning process. I went in assuming it would be pretty straightforward but it ended up taking about 2 hours or so. I did have to drill out the holes for the mounting bracket as they weren't even close to fitting. The hardest part was just getting the damn bumper bolts off. Its super tight up there and just figuring out how to get the leverage needed took the longest. I used a small hand saw and then dremel to take out the bumper insert and then ended up using bumper paint to paint everything flat black.

    Word of advice: take the bumper bolts off and then put the bracket on (without bolting anything). While its loose, mount the light bar (I ended up using 2 washers and a lock washer on each side). The bolts going into the LED were a pain too, nothing was a 100% perfect fit. I ended up only getting the light mounted but not wired. I am going to change out the switch it came with (prewired and all set up with an in line fuse and everything wired up so that was super nice) with an air on board switch.

    all in all the quality looks good and the fact that it comes with a straight plug and play wiring was a bonus.

    funny you should ask because I have no idea. I got the center console led light bar switch and I believe it came with 4 wires. ground is probably one, two are for the light bar, and the 4th is for the dash lights (which I will just piggy back onto a nearby switch). I was just going to pick up an extra fuse or two and start some trial and error.

    If anyone can lend some help on the wiring it would be appreciated.
