Depends on 4 things - Taking the bumper off is a way but not easy .

1/ how rusty the old bits are . - sometimes they can not be undone so cut em off . grinder or hack saw .

2/ how good with spanners you are. single hex sockets or ring spanners work well or a 3/8th drive right angle air ratchet .

3/ how good your spanners are . Much debate here but no substitute for quality .

4/ how high you can get the car up to work on it  .

Hey Gribble,

  I can loosen the bolts holding the front bumper on, but I don't know if that will be the way to go( I would have to disconnect my stock fog lights) I can take the grill off and am able to reach under the lip of the bumper but it seems that there is a kind of backing inside the bumper, the bumper isn't hollow on the inside! If I drilled through the bumper in the middle I probably couldn't re-attach the nuts to the driving light bolt.Has anyone attached their driving lights to the bumper that would have a plan of attack?

Just wondered could I wire my front spots up by connecting into the wire already there for my front fogs so they operate using the existing switch on the dash

iv just got a set of 4 spotlights (waiting to make a mounting bar) but i need to source all the wiring relay earthing etc. can i use any type of cable or does it need to be a certain type ?

relay

http://www.maplin.co.uk/illuminated-locking-push-switch-34859
switch

from what i can gather from the diagram and whats said i need to mount the lights put all the earths on the mount and all the live wires either 2/2 or all into 1 wire down to the relay the tricky bit finding the wire in ignition for the high beam (flash only) i guess i need to solder a wire from this one to a switch then to the relay so i can switch them on when i want and have them come on when flashing people but wont they need to be on at the switch (which will turn them on obviously) so they will flash ? if the switch is off they wont flash will they  Confused confusing Laughing
