Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Default Installation of Taillight Guards on 2008 H2

Hello, I'm looking for some guidance on installing taillight guards on a 2008 H2. From what I've been able to find, it appears there are differences between the various years. I assume this would be the same for 2009 and possibly other years. I picked up a set of OEM guards, but they came with tiny bolts that appear to need be bolted to the body. The below image is from a 2008, with the same guards I have.



My H2 does not have holes in the body. I'm assuming that in order to install these guards, I need to drill holes in the body. I'm looking to confirm what is needed for installation from those that have done this. I'd really prefer to not drill any holes. Thanks in advance for all responses.

Yep, either drill holes or go home.
I mean it’s aftermarket bling 🤷🏼‍♂️

My 03 OEM guards simply had a thin strip of 3M adhesive holding that side on. No need for holes/rust.
