They are for the wiring for your lights...need to measure out where it runs and drill a hole in your fender to pull wire through...that is if you are also relocating your rear lights...I got the heartland rear lights also and mounted them with a bracket to the second bolt holding on strut and i drilled the hole close to that strut

Well that would make it two slots on the top side of the struts...but yes he could mean that...so he should make it clearer what part of strut he's talking about...and if he means the channels on the side facing the actual fender or the two slots intended for the passenger seat on the top portion of the strut
