Cut the bumper? It looks like the cooler covers where the bumper mounts!

You have to leave out the bumper reinforcement bar.

I mounted mine to where the top of the bumper mounts, the top support. It also has a bolt on each side. No pics sorry.

depending on how big the pipes are you will have to cut a bigger hole to fit the piping. Strangely there were already holes in the area, just had to enlarge it to fit the pipes.
Headlights work fine for me.
