Default Rugged Ridge Light install ??

I am upgrading my front bumper with the Rigged Ridge XHD, storage end caps and brush guard (over rider hoop)

the only thing i cant figure out since i dont have the bumper infront of me is how to install the lights. I am not talking about the stock fog lights but the ones that will be installed on the brush guard.

Does anyone have experience with this? whats the wire placement? does the XHD brush guard allow me to hide the wires. I just want a clean setup.

I have the same setup on order so I'm not sure yet, but I would think you can drill a small hole in the bar and get rubber seal to pass the wire through. One hole behind each light, and you'll only see a few inches of wire so it will be clean. Did you install the bumper yourself? I'm curious if it's just a few bolts on the frame, or does it require welding?

I welded a piece of angle iron on the hoop and ran the wires through the hoop.

Nice Rig! That's what pictured... What's it take to install the bumper?

Thanks. The bumper is straight forward to install. Probably about an hour to an hour and a half with 2 guys. Some of the bolts need to be placed from the top while being tightened from the bottom. Having 2 guys just makes it easy.

What kind of paint did you use for the welds? what kind of lights did you get?
