The filler cuts easy with the saw from a Leatherman. Smooth out the cuts with the blade and you are all set. It took me about 20 minutes to do each side while watching TV. Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up on the lights. I have my lights and bar but waiting on my bumper to do the install all at once. I hope it looks good, When i bought the bar I wasn't planning on getting a new bumper.

has anyone else considered the fact that you will have to take the bar off to change a burned out headlight bulb or upgrade it
that's a bit of a drag in itself but besides that; i don't know about anyone else; the connectors for the kc's are inside the tube itself and i have very little play in the passenger side light harness wire as far as length goes.
that will mean i will have to disconnect the harness from the relay, the black ground wire and the yellow and white wire to the battery and pull the entire harness towards the front of the jeep to give me enough slack to allow me to get enough separation of the bar and lights from the grill to get the grill off to change the bulb
not to mention having to dick around with the green and white wire going the other way to the switch that is stuffed inside the wiring loom.....it's pretty much doing the entire install all over again.

shit!! i hope those headlights have long lasting bulbs in them

Thats to much work H bomb the way I wired up my slim lites was to just add more wire. I fed the wire through the bar first made my conections to my lights. Put shrink tube around the connections and that part stays inside the light bar. I made other connections underneath the lightbar (frame area) that I just tapped up real good and used some electric grease on the connections so it would not corrode. So if I need or want to take the bar off I just undo the connections underneath and remove for bolts and take off the light bar. Here is a pic of the shrink tube connections.
As for the headlight bulbs I do not even remove the grille. I remove the airbox and just move the power steering resivor out of the way. But the light bar would just remove with 4 bolts if I needed to take the grill off.
