Hella 500s

Hi fellow owners,
I recently bought some Hella 500s and I'm ready to put them on my car. I have a standard 03 MC (non-S) with an S front bumper. I want to install the lights in the bumper in front of the plastic bug protector thing. Any help would be awesome!

The ALTA light bar will do that for you in that location, though I question if blocking the airflow through there is a good idea. I'd suggest taking that bumper cover off and studying it for the best mounting location.

But then, you can't trust me, because I can't bring myself to adding more lights to my MINI. Probably because I just had to replace a burnt out Xenon headlight bulb. Could have had the ALTA bar for that price.

Yeah the only thing is I only bought two lights, and I'm not about to spend that kind of money on something i could weld together

If you want some ideas, take a look at how me and some friends made my brackets :
