You'll be disappointed in the LED PnP bulbs....they are NOT meant for halogen designed headlights. Won't be as bright, and might throw light everywhere causing glare to others.

I've had VLED'S in halogen housings before and loved them. Didn't have any issue with glare or anyone flash their hi's at me.
Hmm good option. I wonder if something like this could work https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)

It's a 20" single row light bar. I believe I would have to make modified brackets to mount it to that front plate mount, but that isn't too hard.

I'd worry about the light weighing too much for it to have nothing to act as a brace underneath of it. The bumper is only plastic after all.

Yes, lower is better. There is a Wrangler in my area with a massive LED light bar mounted to the middle of the grill, almost as high up as the headlights. It must be 8-12" high and 18-24" wide. Its freaking bright as hell... like staring into the sun or an overhead projector. I'm completely blinded every time that damn thing comes my way. I highly doubt its legal, but the cops around here don't seem to enforce any of the old auto laws anymore (heavy tints, wide tires extending beyond bumper flares, etc).
When someone with high beams is behind me what I do is use my power mirrors and reflect the light back to them and off of me.
I had a devious friend as a kid that put brake fluid in the rear washer tank... not sure if he did anything else but that was his revenge tactic. Brake fluid and auto paint are not a good mix!!!
EDIT: Sprayer was aimed rearward as well.
Found this sale. Today only I believe.

Just wanted to update what I have found. I ordered this cradle mount yesterday and will post pictures once I get the light bar installed.

A bit late but just read this.....man that's some old school James Bond stuff haha!!! I hope his car was a beater because that stuff would mess up his paint too. We hear about some crazy road rage stuff but one of these days someone's gonna get tired of being blinded by glare due to improperly aimed lights or pnp HIDs in reflectors and do something crazy.
This item just went on sale Feb. 1st on Amazon:

At first I thought Hell No, but then looking at the photos I saw it installed upside down with the light at the bottom.
That might work where you could have the light recessed a bit.

Well, I have finally got the time to put the light bar on but I can't figure out how to upload pictures on here.
Looking forward to seeing it.

Wheel arch flare? I think it looks good in that example. It would look dumb at stock height with a oem offset wheel. Just like lowering with oem wheels.
