LED Light bar in front bumper

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.

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

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