Looking to see if anyone has added lights to the stock sport bumper - Not a fan of Cowl or windshield lights - want something usable - I was surprised nothing came up on search - Is everyone only using prefab body mounts?

Here's what I did. I started with a set of the Mopar 82215428 mounts, but the lights wouldn't clear the rise in the bumper, so I improvised.

Thanks - As i look at options that i can transfer to new bumper once i find one I like.... Amazed how little structure is under / behind the plastic on stock 32# bumper. More of a frame rail brace than anything

I had a 30" light bar I mounted to the bumper. fits almost perfect between the tow hooks.

This is what I did. It's not the Sport bumper, but I drilled into the plastic bumper and mounted my lights.

What brand/model lights are those? Does the light shake/bounce while driving? Any night photos? Still happy with them? Thank you.

Thats exactly what I did - After a little investigation - Turns out the support for the plastic is similar to the traditional Jeep C Channel bumper. I marked and drilled through the plastic and metal and was able to firmly attach a set of Hella LED driving lights securely. The aux switches made the connection simple -

I got them from Amazon. They work really well and look like they should cost more than they do. They are bright!
I haven't noticed them shaking. When I had them mounted on the cowl, they shook, but mounting them to the bumper shored them up. Here's the link to them.
