    Light brackets for Front bumper

    I have a set of lights on a Westin Bull-Bar that I removed to increase approach angle for the WK. Problem is... those lights were expensive and it impossible for them to serve me if they are not installed on my Jeep. I'd like to see what options are available for me to install these two the bumper and/or retrofit to the grill insert. The wiring and switches are all still intact, I never removed them.

    I also need to get this socket out.. it's 2.5" deep in... and I'm pretty sure the nut is bigger than 5/8"s.



    This is my old Westin Bar that some of you may remember I used to have on the WK a while back.

    Give it to Sal and let him buy you some new lights.
    Take it to advance auto and tell them to help find the socket you need to remove it.
    Cut the bar and throw it away.

    Torch with MAP gas, heat it up and then break it loose. First take the lamps out of the housing if you can.

    So you have a socket stuck in your bumper? lol J/k Good luck. You could probably get rid of it on Craigs list as well. I'm sure there are some WK owners who would love that bar on their jeep.

    I like to keep a certain amount of scrap metal around... Never know when it could be of use.

    Progressively drill a larger hole in the middle of the bolt until you can snap it off or saw through it.
