7. Remove the wiring harness for the reverse sensors with the bumper removed from the chassis on both sides.

12. Install the new license plate lights in the Fab Fours bumper using the supplied 3mm Allen and 10mm nut.

16. Hang the bumper in a position by letting it sit on the OEM tow bar.

We’re totally stoked about how this vengeance rear bumper looks, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to install the 6” light bars since they just didn’t fit. So we’re going to measure those up and find another set that fits and installed those a little later. Thanks for reading.
