Hey Dukie, I have it figured out, I used 2 1/2in mending plates all the way around. I couldn't be more happy with it. Thanks for all your help!

I used this wire harness from amazon and it worked fine with the OEM switch.

If anyone is interested in using the OEM switch with the Amazon wire harness, please use the following pin orientation.

OEM Switch Pin A = Black wire from Amazon harness - Ground
OEM Switch Pin B = Blue wire from Amazon harness - Relay pin 85
OEM Switch Pin C = White wire from Amazon harness - +12

Cool

You have to drop the front bumper and grill. There is an optional off road light kit that can go in the grill and if you can locate one there are detailed instructions that go along with it. I installed it on my H3 about 2 years ago but I can't seem to find the instructions.

Default Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your reply. I will hunt around for info on removing the bumper. I already have the upper grill off but was hoping to be able to install the light without dropping the bumper.

I don't remember it being too hard. Like 4 screws, a bunch of clips. I had to take off my chrome brush guard and tow rings first. There really isn't much holding it on. The grill piece you are taking about clips inside of it. I believe the upper grill stays on. It does take two people to pull it off.
