I’m looking to add some lights to the front for when snow/ice covers the headlights but with the standard bumper, I’m having trouble finding mounting options. Does anybody know of mounting hardware available for the standard bumper? I’ve seen some nudge bars with light mounts that would work but I’d like to avoid that if possible, mostly just for cost reasons.

can’t answer your actual question, but have you considered ditch lights? I mean, they have a built in mount on the Bronco, and there’s a multitude of options.

I have seen some light bar mounts that fit it between the bumper and grille.

Can't exactly tell, but it appears you have plastic filler plugs for the OEM fog lights. Why not go that direction?

It’s an option but at that height I don’t think they would be considered safe to use on the road.

That’s what I’m looking for I think. Do you know what company makes them?

I do have the factory fog lights already but all the lighting on the front is LED, which doesn’t create enough heat to melt the snow/ice so if it’s wet stuff coming down and sticking to the front, eventually it gets difficult to see. I was hoping to add halogens to work when conditions are like that.

Here are some options to consider...

https://mandronline.com/products/2022-ford-bronco-capable-bumper-40in-light-bar not sure it would melt snow and not be blocked out.

Baja Designs makes a linkable kit...expensive

You can replace you fogs with diode dynamic max lights and they get hot enough to melt snow.

Add something like the max lights to your a pillar as well.
Yeah I've seen the light bar. Don't really like the look personally and I doubt they'd fix the issue. I've considered just upgrading the fog lights but I've got the factory aux switches just staring at me and they're fun to flip... Been looking for a reason to use them so I guess this is my excuse haha

Agree need to hit the switches. Sounds like you need a modular or aftermarket bumper upgrade. People are selling them for a good price on this forum from time to time. A pillars are a good easy start.

I have the NACHO light bar... very nice, but a little spendy.
