Trying to come up with other ideas. Maybe mount 4 square lights using the factory bars up top.Anyone use a frontier light bar? Open to ideas or suggestions.
Are you interested in selling the old lights?

The light in the bumper is a rigid 20" combo spot flood. I found a great price on amazon, it mounts on the top brush guard mounts inside the bumper with about 3 inches clearance on each end. I answered to a few threads about how to mount it, you have to cut the three vertical plastic pieces to get it in there. Heres a link.

Here you go, halfway down the first page is the bumper light install.

Word of caution, anything you put down there will get pelted with rocks and bathed in mud and snow on the not so nice days :D

Hey Touchdown,

How do you like the LED light bar output with the bar that far back on the top? I will be getting a light bar soon but afraid I will loose light output having it that far back. Was thing of having custom brackets made and putting it closer to the top of the windshield.. Your thoughts?
Hey Jay...I just saw this.
Yes I'll have to concur with Hydro on this...really no difference in lighting.
These light bars are so bright they make it look like day time outside! :shock:
Go for it, you'll enjoy the extra light on those darker than dark roads/trails!!
