HELLA 500s on ARB bumper -- where to ground?

I just started the process of installing my new HELLA 500 driving lights on my '00 4Runner with ARB bumper tonight, but I didn't finish it because I lacked a few supplies, and I have a question for those of you who have done this before on a similar bumper: where do you ground the lights? I understand I can ground them anywhere that's metal basically, but what is the best place/method? I would prefer to ground them individually on the bumper itself, simply because that would be easier and give me fewer wires to worry about if I should have trouble in the future. However, all the bolts on that bumper are quite large (too large for a spade or ring terminal), so I would need to drill a hole or use self-tapping screws to ground the wires. However, I'm not even sure self-tapping screws would work; I'm not sure if the bumper is too thick for that kind of treatment or not. Anyone have thoughts on that topic? Thanks, Dan
