Debating using the N-Fab light bar to mount driving lights or could I mount them on the bumper. Mainly concerned about someone backing into the light bar and lamps.

Looked under the bumper to see what clearance there was for drilling, when I was surprised to see GM had made provision for just this situation. In the shared photos you will see 2 x 1/2" holes in the bumper metal. Further, they reinforced the plastic fascia with a box to support around the hole for taking the pressure to tighten the mounting bolts.

For this specific install - PIAA 520 driving lights in yellow for better contrast in the rain, and less back reflection. Had to get 2"x 3/8 bolts as the supplied bolts were a bit short.

Plenty of clearance behind the light for the grill.

Thought this might be good info for anyone else considering same.
