These are the ones located in the wheel arch and the under-bumper splash gaurd. They are the ones that sometimes spin and dont unscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget to unplug your fog lights "before" pulling the bar ends off..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
