i just got done mounting my hellas and they turned out great, what i did was take the front bumper cover off, and just to the inside of the frame end caps, i took a peiece of angle iron i cut about 2" wide and mounted them to the frame, (trashed the plastic support peice inside) and marked its center and reinstalled the bumper cover. then just drill a hole throgh the plastic bumper / angle iron and its very strong. forwarning if you do get them, the wiring diagram is a little bit confusing. all the colours are wrong

i took just drilled out the holes on the inside of the bumper i took some sheat metal that i had laying around, folded it over to have a good anchor since the bumper is all plastic. i fed the wiers through the back hole with some hard rubber tubing and heat shrink to keep everything water tight.

this is an existing ground on the left side of the firewall with the relay of the lights

this is some info that i found on how to get through the firewall http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Jeep_Liberty/Electrical/Firewall_Penetration
Image
for the 12volt + i ran it off the 12volt+ from the daytime running lights
Image
and the swich i put it on the center console

make sure that you make sure that you mape some kind of disconnects so if you ever have to take off your bumper you don't have to rewire your lights each time you take off your bumper.... i learned that one the hard way when a buddy made my clevis mounts for me
