Mine have never been wired up. Have you ARB bumper owners wired yours as blinkers or parking lights? Also, what would you consider the proper way to wire them up? Just splice it somewhere?
ARB turn signal or parking lights?

I did this.
Works great.
ARB Bull Bar Marker Light/running light Conversion
Nope - replace the #1156 bulb w/ a #67 (so it won't melt reflector), blue bumper wire to green on corner light, brown bumper wire to green wire on blinker light.
Then you have marker and blinker!

Whatever you use them for, make sure the splices you use are dry-splices, i.e. silicon grease filled.

I decided to swap the turn signal and parking light positions. I like the idea of having a turn signals visible from the side. I do believe I will wire the bumper light where it functions as both parking and turn signal. My bumper light has a red and black wires coming off of it though. Not blue and brown.
I swapped out the lenses for clear ones with the intent to wire them as turn signals (orange lamps) but have never got round to it. Maybe come the winter. I would be interested in fog lamps if they are available.
If wiring them as turn signals and planning to tow a trailer in the future, you may need to upgrade your flasher relay.
Mine had red and black too. Wired the blacks to the blinkers and reds to parking lights.
Don't know how he wired it, but the previous owner set it up so that the turn signal alternates between the light in the bumper and the stock signal. He actually didn't mean to do that, but I like it that way. This would be the front bumper.

Hi, I wiil be wiring mine this week as turn signals. Personally I think they are cheaply made. Mike
i ran mine as both until i pulled them out to put in led lights
They are pretty crappy IMO. I changed to these:
Replacement ARB turn signals
However, they're not very bright and almost useless during the day.
I sold mine and put in 6" LED bars wired directly to the brights. Been this way for 2+ years with no issues. Makes the brights BRIGHT.
I have installed 4 ARB bumpers and never hooked the lights up 
How much chopping did you have to do to get them to fit? Any photos?

Just finished up. I ended up Moving the blinkers to the corner by the headlights and moved the parking lights under the headlights. I connected the red bumper wire to the green parking light wire, then the black bumper wire to the green blinker wire. This does indeed create the "disco" effect that was mentioned above. I used silicon filled wire nuts but may go back later with the snap on type of waters proof connector. The wire nuts were rather difficult to use in such a tight space and short wires. Thanks for the advice. 
Jon, Do yours have LEDs in them? Thanks, Mike
replaced mine with a LED connected as turn signal light.
