Bumper Mounted Fog Lights?

TacoBo · 06-30-2009, 12:24 PM

Guys-

I was thinking about mounting something like this directly to my bumper. I have the OEM aluminum skid plate and really don't want to mount a light bar just for the additional lighting. Anyone mounted an aftermarket light to their bumper? Anything I should watch out for in a 2nd generation...sensors, etc.? Any pictures you might have would be appreciated.

you might want to look into something like mounting them behind a new grill like a grillcraft. a lot of people on here do that. That mounts to the grill not the bumper. I dont think u want to start drilling holes in your bumper just to mount lights.

If it were me, I'd pony up the dough and get an nFab light bar

I just ordered the N-Fab light bar and I am waiting for it to arrive. I am having problems choosing between the PIAA 520 ATP, PIAA 520 SMR and the KC Slimlites 130w Titanium. I will be installing 4 lights.

Yeah, I thought about a light bar, the n-fab in particular; however, I've seen the top bumper mounted lights done on a Gen-1 Tacom and it looked great. I'm not really into the grill mount either. I really like the looks of the front end of the truck, but just wanted to add some additional lighting for traveling at night. Has anyone mounted any low profile lights in the grill looking area at the bottom of the bumper? I've thought about that as an option too, but thought something like the larger round lights would put out more light.

Thanks guys.
