I'm perplexed about how to mount a 20" light bar in the lower bumper opening. Right below the licence plate bracket and above the skid plate. And right in the center of that opening is a big ugly sensor box for the Adaptive Cruise Control.

So,,, has anyone tackled this obstacle before ?

I've seen "relocation" brackets for sale ($25 - $325 price range). I'm not certain how they're used or . I need more intel...

Screw it.

Plan B...

Return the 20" Light Bar and replace it with a pair of 7" bars.

Now I don't have to mess with the ACC.

The tiny slots can fit lights too. I am almost disappointed to find out you do not have them.
I've seen lights for those slits somewhere.
I'm not gonna mess with my ACC sensors. I'll just put a 7" bar on each side. I should be even brighter.

Rough Country...you can't really put anything powerful enough for lighting...I chose to fill my grille slots instead...mine are for DRL only...

If I may add, you need to think of where you will place inside the cabin the AUX switches.

As you may have a Turbo, they need tonnes of air to stay cooler, so try not to block the any air from the radiator.
