Default Smittybilt XRC with integrated fog lights.

I have a Smittybilt XRC front bumper on my 2012 JKU. When I installed this front bumper I lost my fog lights and I would really like to get them back. I would like something that I can put in the front bumper and keep it flush. Any ideas on how this would work best with this bumper.

Add oracle 5" LEDs aimed them low and relayed them to the stock fog harness. I run them as fogs

Mopar released replacement foglights for off-road bumpers. I believe they are made by Hella.

I like the idea but I am really looking for something to maybe fit in the holes right below that.

I struggled with the loss of my driving/fog lights as well after installing the xrc bumper. I contemplated in recessing the original fogs down below by utilizing some creative bracketry. However, the lights being recessed weren't doing anything in regards to providing light. I went ahead and bought some aftermarket fogs/driving and mounted them on the lower bumper. Tapped right into the original switching mechanism and I'm very happy with the outcome. The time and money you may spend in putting a solution together for re-utilization of your original fogs will be a big headache and little reward. I wish I would've Just saved the $ and time and got some aftermarket lights from the get/go.

Good Luck and Happy Jeeping

12 Arctic Unlimited - Do you have any other pics of your XRC bumper that show the plate where the winch would fit? I am looking to get an XRC myself and run it without a front winch (I have a rear winch on an Olympic 4x4 Smuggler Series rear bumper). I am interested to see the top view because I don't just want a hole in the top of the front bumper where the winch should be. Sorry to get off topic on this thread.

When you guys ran your new light, did you go straight to the old fog light wires? I understand that wattage is the main issue here. I'm looking at going with the rigid duallys or D2s. My two questions are can you run them to the old fog light wires without a relay and does anyone know if the duallys will mount to the xrc bumper where the mounting holes are located. Thx in advance
