Hella AUX headlights: placement?

[B Vibert]

Since Chris is mounting driving lights, not fog lights, they should be 
above the bumper.  I mounted mine directly to the bumper, there was a 
little drilling and tapping  involved.  I wired them to my high beams 
through a relay.
My 5k already has the stock fogs.
