That's a pretty cool mod. If I did it, I would probably hook it up as rear fog lights.

Jesus christ my bumper will not go back on because the terminal blocks don't allow it.... I've been at this for the past 22 hours and no luck. 2 LED's went out... Replaced em. I've soldered and re-soldered LOL
I almost wish I wouldn't have done this mod.... It's the hardest thing I've done.
I've done brake jobs
stereo installs
spark plugs
etc..... This is the hardest thing I've done. I would have saved so much time had I had another person or even a 3rd.
If you decide to do this please save yourself the heartache and get a 2nd person to help you w/ the bumper.

Ya i know it was a pain but you should be fine if you epoxy the terminal block to the back of the bumper. Another set of hands would help alot though. The rear bumper is a ***** to install by ur self.
