Yes under the bumper. If you look on the bottom of the bumper directly below the headlights you'll see there's a perfect sized hole on each side. I do notice that while driving down the road the beams are a bit further apart than may be desirable. I may fart around with it in the spring. As a side note to that: burnt a bulb already! Not happy about that.
As far as where to run power from - there's a junction box in the corner under the old seating near the fridge. Tap into that. My guy actually put the outlet into the face of the bench which would put it behind the person who's sitting close to the window leg. Not a troublesome spot but I would have located it on the wall with some "exterior mounting" product like what is used on old moldings that people don't want to cut in to.
I may use that method to add outlets at the kitchen counter. There's an outlet on the hallway edge of the counter now but you have to have the toaster or fry pan or whatever on that side to use it/them. I'd rather have the option of using stuff anywhere on the counter. I figure I can tap into the same circuit the coffee maker is on and in that way I'll have power from the inverter as well if the need (traveling playstation comes to mind) arises. I know the inverter is only 1500 watts - just gotta be smart about what you're powering up.
