LED Light bar in front bumper

[NYC Bronco]

Anyone have a hole cut into the front bumper between the mounting bolts a flush mounted a small (maybe 14"?) LED light bar? I'd love to see pictures and learn about what you did.

As far as mounting the bar to the bumper, I was thinking maybe JB Weld to inside of the bumper or possibly some welds but I;d concerned about the heat discoloring the front of the bumper. which are OEM style.

Don't expect JB weld to hold. How will you be treating the raw cut edges so they don't rust?
If you cut the hole as a sideways H you could bend the metal back to make mounting tabs. No welding.

Look this up. I believe its a 20" Lightbar. It does look slick and I've thought about it for some time. https://www.motortrend.com/features/cal-speed-shop-builds-1972-bronco/

I did exactly what you're describing. I also added some recessed rock lights on the underside of the bumper.

It's a product from Tom's, but I augmented the bumpers to receive the rock lights.

so you cut the bumper to fit the light bar?

Nope, the light bar cut-out is fabricated into the bumper when you order it. The oval cut-outs on each end are my work.

If your bumper has bumperette holes you can use those holes with bumper bolts to mount the lights.
