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.
