Rough Country busted out a nudge bar for the OEM standard Bronco front bumper. Pics on their website looked really good, so I dropped the cash and ordered it.

You can order it with Rough Country pod lights or a light bar, but I ordered my own pod lights. They are Nilights off of Amazon. Super cheap and I have had really good luck with them. I do open them up and seal them with silicone though. If you're willing to do a little extra work, Nilights last a long time. The fog lights I installed in the bumper are also Nilights.

I do have the auxiliary switches, so wiring is super simple. The switches already have a relay and fuse, so pick your switch and wire it up to the right color wire in the harness under the hood. Easy peasy.

I think it looks great! Install for the nudge bar says 2 hours to button it up, but it took maybe 1 hour. Installing and wiring up the lights took longer than installing the nudge bar. The whole set up cost me $300.

Sweet I just ordered on the other day, I am going to do my own lights as well. You have a link for the lights? What about you bumper lights, go any information on them. That nudge bar looks awesome, glad to see it on someone elses rig.

Love the look! I have one on the way as well!

Do you have the factory aux switched for your lights or did you add an aftermarket switch?

I have the factory aux switches. If you ordered them too, that was smart. Switch 3 thru 6 are 10 amp switches. The 4 pod lights on the bumper only pull 6 amps all together. I put them on switch 4. The fog lights pull 4 amps total, so I put them on switch 3. Super easy with the pre wiring done at the factory.

I took a screen shot of what lights I bought off of Amazon. The Nilights in the bumper are flush mount. The piece of plastic on the bumper that I installed them on actually pops off the bumper. Made it really easy to cut the shape out (the lights come with a template to get a perfect fit) and bolt the light to them. I did have to trim a little of the bumper behind it to get them to fit and pop back on.

I also opened those lights up and sealed them with silicone. Take the time and seal them up and they should last. I have had good luck with Nilights after I seal them up on multiple vehicles.

Thanks, I got the mod bumper and it doesn't have the insert. I wonder if I can fab up some instead of buying brackets.

For the nudge bar install, any trimming to get that on or is it an easy bolt on?

Someone on the forum did a really easy mount for the pod lights he used on his mod bumper fog lights. I can't find it in the search though.

Super easy, no trimming and bolts right on. 15 mm socket and a 17 mm socket. Took me maybe 45 minutes. You got this.

LOL, I’m the little train that could.

Reason I ask, I want to be able to remove it if I end up wanting to change things up and not have a hacked up bumper to deal with.

I'll see what I can come up with, thanks.
