What no body mentioned is that the '93>'95 models have two threaded holes for the M12 bolts to attach the stock brackets to the bumper. I don't believe that the '96+ models had these, so what ever you are going to have to do will probably require you having to drill a hole downward into the steel behind the bumper facia, putting some sort of all-thread poking upward with a nut on both the bottom and the top of the bumper steel, and then clearance out the bumper facia in order to allow the allthread to come through it. Place another nut on the bottom of your light bracket and one on the top, and you now have two light pedestals. Not sure how much they are going to bounce when you hit a bump (steel flexes, and so does all-thread), but that's about the only way I can come up with aside from welding in an L bracket to the top of the steel and clearancing the bumper around it.

I dunno...probably more work than it's worth, and then you have the lessened cooling factor as well.

Let us know how you decide to attack the problems.
