    I built the current light bar that they are on but obviously it will not work with the new bumper (my light bar attaches to the aluminum cross beam that you have to remove for the ARB install). Time for some modifications to the bar I guess.

    I think the ARB bumpers are only set up for 2 lights.....might just modify the bumper in some way to hold an extra set. I don't want to go the route of behind the grill lights. That makes for a pain in the ass with cleaning, adjusting them or changing out bulbs.

    I hope to change my front set up to an LED bar either in the valence or like you said, behind the grill, the chrome in the front is sort of annoying me. lol

    I really like the output of the LED bars....especially with the ones that have 40 or more bulbs.....looks like daytime!!! But.....the cost is crazy!!!!!

    Is the arb bumper powder coated or painted? If its raw metal or painted it would be easy to weld or pay someone to weld on a few more light tabs. If its powder coated it would be a little more difficult to re finish it after welding tabs on.

    If thats the case, then raw would work best, if you're trying to add stuff then paint it then. :eek:
