Lighting Mounting Options

I would like to get a small light bar or some round offroad Hella lights. What are my options for mounting these? I don't have a roofrack and I have a stock bumper. Are there any threads of lighting solutions?

I prefer the round light look. The hella 500s are thin enough to be mounted to stock bumper. Mine have been converted to hid.

 

I like the look too. They are good light output and are pretty cheap. Did you get spot flood or fog? How are those ones mounted to the back of your cab?

 

All spot. I made my own back rack for the lights (real ones are branded "back rack").



Using cheap 55watt h3 hid kits (about $20 off ebay) and the light output is pretty damn impressive. (bad pic)

 

Woah
No way those are road legal though

 

Think most aux lighting is "for offroad use only". Be sure to turn them off if anybody else is on the road.

 

Well, there's the bumper valence for light bars. Either a 20" flush mounted like I did, or a 30" behind the valence mounted on crash bars. Then theres the ditch light brackets for smaller aux lights or cannons. I also used an antenna fender lip bracket to install some lights on the hood. Or get a light bar for mounting lights in front of bumper.

Here's a useful thread:

And here's the led cannons I have on ditch brackets:
