    Do they wire up fine to the existing setup from factory? Can I use the factory switch or do I need to install an aftermarket setup? I am pretty much dumb when it comes to this stuff.

    I am just stoked about the bumper cant wait to get it actually go have some fun on a few trails.

    I would say I would come over and help you install that thing just so I could see how it all goes together but I just had shoulder surgery on Wednesday. Do you have a lift kit installed? If so, did you keep your sway bar on? I am just curious if I will have to tweak something to accommodate the drop bracket. Take pics of your install if you can!

    They should wire up, but they won't go in the fog light holes

    They should fit fine in an aftermarket bumper right? Getting a Brute Force Fab plate bumper.

    They will fit in the light hoop, but not the light holes.

    any light should be able to wire up, u will just have to splice into the wiring.

    and yeah, lightforce doesnt make a 4 in light that i could find so if thats the size of the holes in ur bumper, they it wont work. but if u have a light bar with the bumper, i wouldnt put piaa's on that. I do have piaa's, but i have already had a bulb blown and i have had them only a year with very little use. wish i woulda gotten the light force instead

    4 inch. I think I am going to just get the PIAA 510's because they arent that expensive and I am spending enough money with this bumper and then getting it and the sliders line-x...then the new AR also so my spending money is pretty much at 0 for a few months.

    You could always jimmy up the stock fogs. I used 4" rubber joiners from the plumbing section of home depot. Work freaking great!!
