Okay....first off. From the original bolt breaking how much did you drill it out. Its a cast iron head so you pulling threads sounds to me like you left bolt material in there then tried to re tap the hole. At this point you need to drill the hole out......and re tap the hole. Its simple. If your pulling threads out you ****ed up

So I got KC daylighters today and everything is easy to install but my question is where to install on the factory bumper for 92? I used the search but didn't find anything.

Really? You chose a spot. Drill and then bolt on.

They're too big to use the factory foglight holes... Might have to fab up a bracket of something... I know mine wont fit with the stock bumper
