Towbar and spotlight issues

Hi everyone I am new to this group just having bought a Freelander 2 2008 hse. I have bought an Anker tow bar for it. In the instructions it says I can get to bolts by drilling 2 holes behind reflective strips Has anyone done this or do I need to take the the bumper off. Tia. Also the front driving light in the front bumper has been pushed in by an over enthusiastic car washer with a jet wash. The screws are still holding the light in it seems to be the mounting to the bumper. Is it a new bumper or a adhesive fix. TIA

you can remove the left hand side reflector and drill out the holes to allow a socket to pass through, can be fiddley getting the nuts on still.

Witter used a similar attachment method and instructions included a template for drilling the holes to allow a long (13mm IIRC) socket through. Jules

The foglight mounts are secured to the bumper by plastic welding the tabs. it will be possible to stick them back on with some form of adhesive or using melted plastic but you'll have to remove the bumper to do it right. The red arrows in the picture point to the plastic weld.The yellow ones are where the light fastens in.
