Hello,
Please help the new guy. I have a 99 D ll. Installed ARB bumper yesterday and have a few questions. What are the black rubber tubes on the fog lights for and what should I do with them now that the lights/spoiler are gone? Is there a good alternate method of strenghing the frame/crush can union other than drilling and placing the 10mm bolt? (I so far have been unsuccessful with the last task). Thanks.

David,
The black tubes are breather tubes so when wadding,water does not enter the fog lights. I removed them with the stock bumper. Some people have modified the crush cans see ARB winch bumper airbag version, under tech section on this site. I just used the bolts that came with it & it has worked fine.

Brian,
Thanks for the response. I ended up having the crush cans lightly tack welded to the frame. The problem I encountered while drilling the hole for the vertical bolt was not being able to clear the horizontal bolts. I did not want to impair the airbag fuction by modifing the crush cans. What aftermarket lights can be safely connected to the existing fog lamp harness?

David,
Search the archives on this site, there have been alot of write ups on this. I think you can hook up the same size wattage lamps to the factory harness & be safe but anything higher you should re wire. I ran two Hella 4000's with the Hella wiring harness & put an extra switch inside.
