I am planning on installing 2 Hella 4000s and 2 500s on the front bumper of my 2001 Disco 2 w/o any brush bar. I would like to drill straight down into the black plastic directly infront of the grill. Is there any wires/hoses directly underneath the plastic or anything else I should be careful of when drilling? | ||

I would be amazed if there was the space to install 4000s directly on the bumper, unless of course you plan to make holes in the radiator grill | ||

If you haven't taken off the headlight washer jets, or had a trail take them for you  , the lines for those are in the neighborhood. Other than that, take a look under there and see -- my D1 has nothing of any particular import beyond the radiator... | ||

Christian, Don't take this wrong.....But I would not recommend installing those 4 lights onto the stock plastic LR bumper. The bumper itself is flimsy and will not provide adequate support of those lights. I would hate for you to hit something and inadvertantly cause damage to those lights. You wallet won't like it either. If you want to keep a stock appearance without some huge aftermarket bumper, just go with a LR light bar.
