So I'm ordering some hellas (or similar) in the next month and have a quick question about mounting. I want to put them on the bumper but would rather not remove the plastic bumper cover, is this possible, or is there really no way without dissembling the front end?

If you're looking to mount them on top of the bumper then you don't have to remove the plastic, just drill straight thru (there is metal under there). Here is a thread with some pics to help you find where to drill, and don't forget to touch up the bare metal edges with some paint or something so that the demon rust doesn't come to visit :wink:

Corwyyn, that brings up another question:

With an angle drill (and having a Reese/Draw-Tite/Landy front hitch on), is there enough room to drill it from the bottom to make sure it is right?
