2. Remove the factory fog lights from the bumper. Do not discard the screws as they will be re-used.

3. Install the original fog lights into the Center Section from the back. Use the factory screws to secure the fog lights into the new bumper.

4. Place Center Section of Bumper onto the frame rails. Align the holes and place the rubber isolator gasket between the bumper and D-rings. Using the supplied M12 bolts, place a washer on each of the bolts and insert them thru the D-rings and into the bumper. Note: The D-ring bolt holes are wider on the top.

5. Install the L-bracket nut plates on the back side of the bumper with the L portion on the bottom. Tighten both top and bottom bolts in small increments evenly on each nut plate.
