Subject:Re: driving lights in front bumper?

I have installed the VW factory auxiliary light brackets that David
Marshall has for sale on both my 84 Westy and my sister's 81 Westy.  They
provide a very secure and hidden mount which uses preexisting holes in
the bodywork under the bumper - no drilling holes in the bumper.  I give
these mounts my highest recommendation.  Very trick.  I have some photos
I could pass along if anyone is interested.
