Default ECB bullbar fitting

Fitting a secondhand ECB bullbar and have a question.
I notice on the ECB fitting sheet they mention some small plastic park sensor clips- my second hand bullbar didnt cone with these, previous owner reckons his sensors were just cable tied to the sensor mount points on the bullbar.
Anyone know if the sensors can be mounted ok using cable ties?
ECB dont sell these clips as a seperate item.

edit- went and checked out my other Jeep gc with the same bullbar, it appears the park sensors are cable tied in place.

ok, next question, anyone know the wiring colour codes for the front park sensors
and indicators on a Wk2 and tge best place to tap into them.
The ecb bullbar has a dual park / indicator light led on them.

No sensors on front of mine but sort it out before you mount the bullbar those turn/park lights on the bar are a prick to get at.......... I'll have a look at the bible and see but wouldn't they just be 4 or so small looms with little plugs hanging off the front, I have just plastic caps over the holes on my bar .....

the ecb bar has fog lights which basically plug into the existing fog light wiring but it also has a dual light which has a led indicator and park light so i would think its just a matter of tapping into the indicator wire each side and then the park light feed.
Just need to locate the colour codes for those wires

Forgot about the fog lights, the online fitting instructions just say zip tie the sensor cables............. Fog lights have a wiring kit and it says the park/turn combo lamp is tapped into the wiring harness ......... bonus is it also shows how to drop the plastic front and I have found where a clip thats been floating aorund under the seat of mine came from, I had a thought it came from the long gone front lower panel...... also shows me what I'm up for if I want to remove my bar..... not at all keen.

Had a look in the Book, LH Park - White/Brown ; LH turn - White/Light green ; RH Park - White/Orange ; RH turn - White/Tan, have no idea of sensors as couldn't find them

well bullbar is on, as a matter of interest , the bullbar park lights only come on when the headlights are on, exactly the same as my other jeep, fog lights all good.
The only issue ive come up with thus far is the bullbar bash plate just covers the 4 bolts that hold the factory front under cover shield so if you needed to get to
the bottom front of the motor from underneath you would need to remove the bash plate.
My other jeep gc with the same bullbar dosnt have that front under shield at all so not sure if i should just remove it or not ?

On mine it has a black shield which has never been needed to be removed and certainly keeps tender bits protected. I have Custom Off Road plates under mine and they link up neatly to it, the front plate is certainly a must to protect the steering gear and the black plate for the lower raditor and bits and again haven't needed to remove it ...... pics from when I fitted my Custom Off Road S/S plates..

View from front without the front bash plate ....just the black plate off the bar.




Nicely covered up....
