Bought some off ebay, apparently the 5 LED lights need to be wired through with the fog lights (according to ebay seller) ???? im not sure why this would be but wouldnt you then have to have your LED lights on only when your foggies are on and vice versa?

Daz you did have to spoil it, I was hoping that I could get to the bolts from behind,

Does that now mean driving lights, nudge bar, front bar etc ? . . because if it does I will replace the fog lights to since they are not working now since I took the ute swimming.

Yes the truth is coming out I did take the ute out and get it a little wet. . . .lol. . .

Sorry Pete,

Alas yes you will have to remove the lot .......... otherwise your gonna crease the Bumper for sure, as they clip onto the bumper and theres just not enough roof to get them out with out removing the bumper.

Be careful when adjusting the headlights. There's another side wheel there.

Do a search and I think I posted the instructions somewhere here.

Give a shout if you can't find it.
