Hello everyone hope you all had a great holiday season. I got a light bar for Christmas for my Jeep but have run into a mounting problem now. Was going to use the license plate bracket to do it but that’s a no go. So figured I’d remove it and use the already made hole’s but they don’t line up. Plus I’m now wondering if them holes would even support the weight of the mount and light. So if anyone can help me with this issue I’d appreciate it. I’ve included a pic of the setup I’m using.
Advice on how to mount this light setup. Please

Yeah with sockets. The hard part is drilling into the bumper. Curved spot and hard metal. You’ll want lots of lubricant.

Ya, you're probably right about that. It's a good spot for on highway driving combo though. That 24" would be nice with four of these. I have some Squadron Pro's, but I think those are too much for the highway. These are the hookup. Two clear, and two amber, both with driving combo lenses...LOL!!!😁😎

stelantis don’t care about anything but profit unfortunately. Would be nice if they did listen to what the customer wanted. From an article I read said Jeep brand is in a bind. They have over produced and priced everything they are not selling like they use to. Plus all the trouble with the engine and transmission’s They need to get it together!!!

I thought of using something longer to bolt it or a threaded rivet like we use at work sometimes on the trucks we build. I was worried about sensors behind the bumper. I watched a video on how to remove the front bumper and it looked like there was some things right behind it that could prevent that. My Jeep didn’t have a factory mount on the front bumper when I bought it the lot added this cheap aftermarket mount from autozone or someplace.

I don't personally care for the look of a single front light bar
these caught my eye because they are street legal. pricey experiment tho
Morimoto 4Banger HXB Wide LED Pods w/mounts & switched harness $597.50
they also make a combo lens but don't think it's SAE street legal
FFWD to 9:40
I have lots of lights on my rig, but the bumper mounted 10” light bar from rigid, which is SAE reflector is hands down the best light option you can add, (not the Rigid but bumper mounted light).
I wired it through overhead switch and then to a good old fashioned foot dimmer switch for those back road drives.

There’s nothing on the top two holes, don’t drill out the bottom two.

Isn't that every company? No profits no company. The only thing you can do is research the company and go from there. I've own several Jeeps and knew what I was getting into. Sorry for those that didn't have the far sight to see that Jeep has never been that great. The joy of a capitalist country. But I do hear you, listen to your customers. At the same time Toyota and Honda (all manufactures lately) have been having engine and tranny problems. If its man made it will fail, some sooner then later.
