Does the LED light require its own power source or does it tap into my vehicle's reverse light circuit?

Wiring configuration is not specified in the product data — test the connection points on your vehicle before final install. Most universal guards like this tap into reverse or parking circuits, but you'll want to confirm the connector type matches your vehicle's harness.

Will this guard clear my bumper sensor holes, or do I need to drill new openings?

The guard is designed for universal mounting and does not account for sensor placement. Check your vehicle's sensor locations before install and modify the guard panel if needed to avoid blocking them.

Can I paint this before installation, or should I install it raw and paint after?

Install first, then mask around the LED area and paint. This lets you test fitment and wiring before committing color, and prevents paint from clogging the light housing or connector pins.
