Default How to connect off-road lights to a front bumper?

I have a front bumper on my Jeep and I was thinking about putting some KC Lites under my bar but not attached to the bar but attached to the bumper. Is this possible??Click image for larger version

If there is enough steel to drill between the opening for the winch and the front of the bumper you could drill and mount them. I think that would be easy enough.

There is a bracket that attaches to the fairlead for 2 lights. I bought one at a Jeep meet but never installed it. Now I have no idea where it is

The one I got was very similar to this one.

Rock Hard 4X4 RH6065 - Rock Hard 4x4 Fairlead Light Mount - Quadratec

Kc actually make brackets which clamp on the tube and allow you to mount lights.

If you change your mind and want LEDs. Hit us up. We have plug and play offroad lights which make a quick and easy install.

She does not want to attach to the bar. I think either the fairlead solution as I mentioned or drill through the bumper. I do like the Inspired Engineering ones that are plug and play with the stock harness.
