mounting off-road lights
has anyone mounted off road lights in the bumper opening between the tow hooks? i would like some extra light, but would like to keep it low profie, and i don't have the honeycomb grill, i have the "H-bar" grill. the truck is a 2006 FX4.
i have however added the front skid from a level II model. anybody help me out? a pic or two would be awesome!
EDIT: here's a pic of a super duty with the idea i have in mind (the amber lights) http://www.kchilites.com/store/Fog-L...5-P603C20.aspx

for a 'no drill' option....
since you've got a '06+ truck, you don't have the bolts that the 05 and older trucks use to mount light tabs. Here's those light tabs mounted to a tow hook bolt....longer bolt is needed, and a nut to act as a spacer, then a holding nut.
came out pretty unique on this '07 i did...

you bring up a good point on the tall grass, but my main reason for wanting the lights is to help light up the back roads i travel. as ashamed as i am to say it, my truck doesn't see nearly as much off-pavement use as i would like.
Fx4wannabe01: thank you for those pics, they may have just inspired me... i'll have to break out the measuring tape and see if my idea will work. THANKS!

I used what i had....i made those mounts to the same spec's as the tabs underdog and jusnes sells. they wern't right for this truck in that location, so i just spaced the bracket away. if i had heat(oxyacet), i'd bend up a newset of 1/4" mounts.
