Default Help With KC HiLiTES and Bumper.

I am trying to find out if I will be able to install KC HiLiTES on a bumper that I am looking to purchase. XRC M.O.D. Modular Center Section with Winch Plate is the bumper that I was to get, and the Slimlite Fog Light Kit from KC is are the lights that I want to try and install onto the bumper. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

If there aren't holes in place already for lights, you can get a light bracket that mounts to the winch opening. I got mine from PSC.

If there are not already two holes for the lights that will be mounted, can they be drilled in? Or would drilling holes be a bad idea?

As long as you hit the holes with some paint, should be no issue.

Rock Hard stubby is very similar in looks and has light tabs already welded to the grill guard. Made in the U.S. also.



With Slimlights and winch.

I really want to stick with the XRC M.O.D. Modular Center Section with Winch Plate because of my budget. Do either of you know whether I would be able to purchase mounts that would make it easier to install the lights onto the bumper? Any ideas help. Thank you.

I really want to put the lights on my bumper to serve as replacements for my fog lights that I will lose with the bumper replacement. What about any of these?: http://shop.poisonspyder.com/Roller-.../45-28-010.htm
