Wow. Yea no kidding. Thanks. After thinking more about it, I'll most likely just pop mine off the factory bumper and find a plug to wire in to both aftermarket lights that will plug right in to the pther end of the bumper harness. Ordered 2 plugs but not sure if they're the right ones so we will see hopefully sunday.
This is the one I'm waiting on here

Soo, everything is installed except... still waiting on that connector to solder up to the LED lights on the winch bumper... should be here tomorrow and crossing my fingers it plugs in to the stock wiring harness. All I need to do is connect it to the bumber lights and plug it in to the stock harness. Hoping everything plays nice together as is, but will update once its done to confirm one way or the other. I did have to take off the step bars I had got it with and put some "old man" steps on it to help my dogs get in and out. They are getting old and the sweet look of the previous ones was out weighed by them so had to replace them for now even though I actually prefered them over these. This is where Im at and not so patiently waiting for the connector though.....

Well connector didn't work. My bad. Another style is on the way to try before I give up and start hacking things up...

So to finish this off after receiving the new connector today... It was the one that I was after. Tight fit but once finessed in place then a little pressure it clicked in tight and worked as is plug and play. I cut the new connectors in half and used the male end to plug in to each of the bumper harness end fog light connectors. So didn't end up doing the original thought with the bumper to frame connector. This way was easy enough and the hardest part (other than finding the right connector trial and error) was removing the stock harness from the stock bumper. After 57 little screws and 47 plastic push pins I was able to pop a few "christmas tree's" out and remove the stock harness. Ya I exagerated but it was the most annoying part of the deal. Ziptied the harness in the best spots I could find to the new bumper, then soldered the new connectors to the aftermarket LED's. Wire the 2 lights on either side to each other and then to each sides connector, then heat shrinked and plugged it in. They worked as is. No need for tuning with JScan or whatever else I've read. So the main benefit is if I find these lights get damaged or for whatever reason need replacing one day I cam simply unplug replace and reconnect. That and it's more of a factory look. Anyway its done. So much for "buy it and drive it, no mods on this one" haha. Here we go again...
