With the Rugged Ridge Winch Bumper, can you add an additional set of lights somewhere either on it, or the optional Center Hoop? I know the non-winch version you can mount lights, but I want the Winch bumper but dont want to loose my extra set of lights I currently have on my Pro-Comp Light Bar.

Does anyone know if I am out of luck with the lights, or is there something I can do?

Thanks

I would say relatively small, but doable with a drill, easily so if you have end caps.

 

I'm planning on adding PIAA 520 lights to the top center of my hoop. Obviously I'll have to drill a few holes but no big deal.....

If you do not plan on getting the optional hoop the you can just drill a hole in the top of the bumper and position the lights wherever you want.

 

With a bfh, drill, plasma cutter torch and welder, there ain't nuthin you can't add lights to.

 

I guess I should have added, the lights I have are KC Slimlight 6" ones... Not sure how small those PIAA ones are in the pic above

 

This sounds like a doable option at the very least right... Just drill a hole on the bottom of the hoop, then a matching one on the top, and just get a longer bolt for the Light itself and that should work, the lights would be at the same height as the factory driving lights, but atleast there still there right.

 

I think those are 4", if you wanted to put them on the side I'm sure they would fit (especially with the hoop cus it can be tilted back), it just might look a little crowded.

 

PIAA 510's I believe are 4" and PIAA 520's are 6"

I'm planning on installing 520's and drilling the holes for the mounting bolts on the hoop and drill 2 secondary smaller holes to install a rubber grommet so I can feed the wires through the hoop for a clean looking install. I'll feed the wires to the base of the hoop and I just have to drill a hole on the top of the bumper (under the hoop of course). Once thats done I should be home free....

Seems pretty straight forward. Great thing is if I screw it up to bad I can always get a new hoop!

 

Nice idea... I would certianly need to get something to extend that wire as my Slimlight wires area already pretty tight... Is that just normal wire you would need?

 

If your going to just add some wire make sure its the same gauge.
