    I had hoped to use the stock brackets on the ARB for these lights, but I would really need a press to make the bracket. I resorted to my old standby, aluminum angle and pop rivets.

    [​IMG]

    I used double sided tape to hold the bracket to the back of the bumper temporarily.

    [​IMG]

    Here's the light all bolted up. I used a large round head philips screw and will eventually paint them black so they don't stand out so much.

    [​IMG]

    All lit up. I need to do the fog light anytime mod.

    [​IMG]

    I'll get the video of the light output up in a bit. These do a really good job of projecting light out to the sides of the truck. They're not going to blind someone standing next to the truck, but the do a pretty good job.

    Drained a little oil outta the diff after giving it a bath. All's good, no moisture. Where did you get the gear for your diff breather mod. I might try to do that this weekend.
