You should be able to pull out your existing door pocket and cut holes in it for the lights to shine through. I would just use epoxy to fit it to your door pocket from the inside.

On the rear bumper you are going to need factory tow hooks to finish off the job. And you are pretty much stuck with the holes in the rear bumper that are left over.... However I may be selling my whole rear bumper soon..... I also might have a line on some tow hooks if you are interested.


I think I'll just end up plugging the hole in the bumper with a rubber plug... that won't bother me too much.

The tow hooks I might take you up on... I've got a couple people interested in my OEM rear tire carrier, which has the hook attachments so the buyer would give me theirs, but if that falls through and I'm ready I'll need them. I hate to buy them though, when I can get them in the OEM tire carrier deal.

I just got the back up cam.. and it's slick. However, I think I'm going to have to have the OEM pocket with the light for it all to work properly.
