Default Lights added to Mopar Bumper?

Looking for options on how to add off road / driving lights to my Mopar winch/fog light bumper.



I know you can add the Mopar fogs out on the "wings", but I want to add them to the top of the hoop or right in front of the winch. I remember seeing someone that used some brackets to add them to the hoop, but can't find the pic at this time.

Did you buy brackets or tabs...or simply fab something your self?

Thanks!

PIAA sells brackets that I've used. I'll post a pic tonight.

Hey geebee, you were the one I was thinking of.

Where did you purchase the brackets?

Could I flop the brackets to have the lights set back vs how yours are set forward?

quadratec sell some brackets. i got a pair but installing on the diesel is a nightmare, they are made for the petrol engine so they will be really easy for you to install

To clarify, I have the Mopar winch + fog light bumper.

Thanks though.

I updated my first post.

i bought the brackets from Lordco Auto Parts here in British Columbia but like i said the maker was PIAA. Im not sure if there is enough clearance to mount the lights reverse to mine...the backs of the lights would rub on the grill if i had done it with my hella's...although i suppose you could mount them upside down so the light hangs below the bar infront of the winch ???

just drill a hole in the top of the bar and either tap it and thread the light in or drill both side and bolt the light to the top of the bar

I put PIAA fogs in on the ends of the bumper mounted in existing holes. I also put PIAA pencil beams on bull bar using 2.5 inch bar mounts. They work perfectly. Got them online for about 20 bucks. I have the mopar offroad w/winch no fog cut outs.

I just went thru this on my jk. Bought a set of stock TJ lights, , brackets from Home Depot, painted them black, drilled two holes, and mounted them up. No interference with tow hooks, blinkers, winch, etc. I'll take pics if you want them.
