Hey I'm planning on doing this but I want to make sure I'm drilling in the right areas. Is there any pics showing exact spots? If not can someone email me one.
Thanks~

I finally drilled mine, but no water came out. It had been a few days since it got wet.
In CA we son't have holes on the bottom of our plates...

that first hole hurt me more than it hurt the jeep.
i hope 5/32 wasn't too big. lots of fluid in there. I hope I didn't just drill the side mirror fluid tank.

My right side mirror pees out a nice stream, but my left side dribbles. They are both drilled in the same, measured spot.

Add me to the count, just did it, my first mod.
The scary part really wasn't the drilling on my new jeep cause of the great instructions and pictures, but punching through the mirror and having a stream of water heading for my dremel's electric motor as I removed it.
Can you say new hair style!

works like a charm. I've only had my JK for 4 days and water started spewing out immediately upon drilling.

Thanks!!!
