Anyone know where you can get brackets that fit the factory holes in the front bumper to put in some offroad lights?

As far as I know the factory fog lights that mount to the front bumper just bolt on no special mounting brackets.. At least based on how mine are mounted on a 91 XJ..I can take some snap shots tomorrow morning since by the time I leave school it will be way late.

I have seen people drill through the stock bumper and mount a set of slim lights. The bumpers are pretty weak and should be pretty easy to drill through or you could go with one of these.. http://www.quadratec.com/products/72110_700.htm

thats real nice,, you can do one yourself if you know how and well if you have the tools.. I like it, the only reason I have my bush guard is for holding my lights, I would take that off and put one of those in a heart beat.. but I wont, not right now lol

When I had a factory bumper I had two Hella 500s on it and I just drilled the holes in the top of the bumper so that I had factory fogs and the Hellas. Looked and worked great. Sry no pics, this was before I had a digital camera or knew how to post pics.

there should be plugs on your bumper where stock fog light would go i took my plugs off and my lights bolted right on if your lights are bigger the worse that is going to happen is your going to need to drill bigger holes.

I mounted some lights into the factory holes, and ran the wires through the other set of holes. I'll post some pics soon, but I think they look pretty good.

Those lights look good. You did a great job. Where did those lights come from I have never seen those before. Looks very unique. Congratulations.

Thanks Blue, they came off from a friend of mine's S10 rollbar. Not sure of the make and whatnot, but they were free!
