Default How to mount aftermarket lights on factory bumper?

Has anyone tried mounting a set of aftermarket lights (KC's, PIAA's, or whatever) to the stock bumper? What is below the plastic? Where can they be mounted? I want to add a set of auxillary lights, probably a driving beam pattern for backroads/deer. I don't want to put them on the windshield because of glare issues. But at the same time, I don't want to replace my bumper just to be able to add fogs... Anyone? Pics would be most helpful!

I think I saw brackets in the Quadratec catalog also but don't have it in front of me at the moment.

I have a grill guard from MBRP inc. They are a sponsor on here and its a great bar that mounts to a factory bumper and its got the mounting for lights!

without the lights.


with Piaa 520i`s fogs

if you go this way put your lights on first, its a pain to do it twice( I couldn`t wait) there are other posts with this grill guard. hope this helps you!

Here's an old pic of mine with the factory bumper....very simple, I just drilled a hole straight through the top of the bumper down through the plastic (outer bumper) and then through the metal (inner bumper)...just bolted them on, no problems!

Bought the brackets from Quadratec for $69 + S&H to mount my PIAA 525s. Serious high gauge steel, no drilling, clean looks and extremely sturdy. Very pleased with them.
