    Well, I thought about the top lip of the hole of the cladding, it just didn't look like there was enough there to drill and have a good base, but I will look at it again.

    I will say I am surprised, I thought the cladding was sacred ground, not to be drilled upon. That is why I went through the hassle of making the brackets.

    I am planning on the replacement of the OEM "fog" lights, sometimes called the parking lights. It is all in the name of illumination.

    Thanks for y'alls input. I sill start work on mounting this weekend and post pix when I am done.

    Bolt right through the cladding, using good hardware and a backing plate (just 18ga. stainless).

    These are micro fogs on the bumper, and KC slimlights on the grill (mounted using the same method, but with rubber washers to dampen vibrations).

    I didn't want my lights sticking out further than my bumper, and these tucked in just enough...

    Thumbs up

    If I PM'ed you, I couldn't tell you how. I don't do any of the IM stuff. I know I sent an e-mail, and yes, I got yours in return. Thanks for the information, but I don't think I'll be trying that one myself. No real metal working capability. Again, thanks for the info.
