Default Light mount for stock bumper

Recently I added a winch to my stock front bumper. In doing so, I had to remove my KC lights that I had mounted due to the winch I added. My question: is there anyway to mount my KC lights on the stock bumper with the winch in place? I'm open to all ideas! I'd rather not do a windshield mount if I don't have to.

Thanks guys!

Poison Spyder (and likely several other companies) make light mounts for installing on roller or hawse fairleads.

Several companies make a winch hoop light bar. Whether it fits around your winch is something you'll want to verify. You could also have a local shop fab up something custom.

Hmm this is what I'd love to have but I'm worried it won't fit with the rock hard winch plate. Have you seen anyone with this setup before?

Drill two holes in the top of your roller fairlead. Then sell your current mounts to me.

I like the KC lights on the bumper. What brackets did you use?

Just thinking out loud... If you used large fender washers or metal plates to reinforce the plastic. Could you mount them on the ends of the bumper kind of in front of the tires?

I have not. But you might post the question as your subject in a new thread ("Will XXX Winch Fit with XXX Light Bar?"). Relying on this current thread isn't as effective since very few people read every thread or post and "Light Mount for Stock Bumper" isn't very informative about what you would really like to know. IOW: Tell folks what you'd like to know assuming that they WON'T read your thread--because then maybe they will!

Do what the previous owner did to my jk and drill down through and screw them buggers tight.
