First Things First - I had to immediately get some working turn signals on my Prowler. So I removed the lamp fixtures and plugs from the old bumpers then remounted the turn lamps behind the grille and plugged them right back into the factory harness so the CAN-bus was happy and all the lights came on and signals blinked properly. 
 
LED Lighting - I wanted to enhance the turn signals for both safety and visual reasons, making them more visible to other traffic. Having just the signals in the grille worked okay, however the grille louvers are angled slightly downward which restricts the lamps to a truck or bus or anyone who is not in the same horizontal plane as the low Prowler, so I needed additional lighting. 
 
As soon as I went to look for some Led’s, I quickly learned almost no one makes an “Amber” colored LED strip. After weeks of searching, I finally found a company called Alpena manufacturers who have bright Amber colored 24” Led strips and also smaller 8” strips and available by order through Auto Zone.     
 

 
When Installing the LED’s - I mounted a set of amber 24” strips at the lower portion of the headlight fixtures so the lamp fixture helps to conceal them.  Next, I mounted two small 8” LED’s vertically in from of the headlight fixture. Before installing them I carefully masked the LED’s with tape and painted them flat black to give them the appearance they were just part of the headlight fixture. Wiring the Led's is as simple as splicing them into the turn signal circuit right there in the nose of the prowler.
 
Filling Those Bumper Voids- As most of you know, after you remove the bumpers it leaves a good size void in front of the upper A-Frame. One of my “Things to Do” on my Prowler was to install some running lights. With this in mind, and the void to fill, I went out to find a nice pair of running/fog lamps. While there were many choices at the auto-part stores in LED’s, I didn’t want a bright LED since it just didn’t fit the Prowler’s D&A.  I finally located a set of nice inexpensive Halogen Fog lamps at my local Wal-Mart for a whooping $19.95. The lamps are fairly nice for $10 each and the best part; they have a halogen bulb that matches the K temperature of the headlights. 

Installation - The fog lamps came with a bracket which I simply enlarged one of the holes and used one of my bumper bolts & washers to attach it to the bracket. They are perfect. They are adjustable and fill the void and look like factory lights. 
 
Wiring- Instead of dragging wire all the way from the nose to the cab and mounting a switch in the dash (which I was not going to do) I simply wired them to the parking lights, so if I want running lights, I simply turn on the Prowler’s parking lamps and they illuminate. 

Saving the best for Last - In my next article, I’ll show the real benefit of this delete kit as we'll transform your front end and A-Frames to make your prowler even more attractive.
 
In Conclusion - For around $60 I have my bumper delete kit. Unlike the ones you could order, mine has grill mounted and LED park & turns signals. In addition, we have halogen fog/running lights, which were not available with the kits. Most importantly, I didn’t change my Prowler’s appearance, she still has a beautiful stock look.
