Additional Lighting to front of 2015

[Scott B]

I have a 2015 Exp and wanted to know if any one knew of a product that was available to mount two to four additional lights in the front grill /bumper area, but was not a bull bar?
Thanks,
Scott

My wife wants hers to look as stock as possible so mounted a 23" in the bumper and a 37" single row off of the roof basket.

You have the two tow hooks in the front bumper?

I mounted a single row (32" i think) light bar in the top slot of the grill. If you take your time and do it right it is relatively inconspicuous. I had to mod the brackets (bent the brackets that came with the light bar and drilled new holes in them) to center it up and down in the slot. Used stainless hardware for longevity.

Pro-Tip: use some flatblack paint or plasti-dip on the lightbar and mounts to help hide it. I used just a little bit of flat black on the inner portions of the grill slot to help reduce glare. There are tinted appliques that can be applied over the lens to help hide it but would most likely dim the light output.

Guys thank you for some and some not so helpful ideas to mount lights. I guess what I was looking for was a product out there that world replace the two hooks to mount lights on. I just did not want to use a bull bar.

Amazon has a little "push bar" that mounts where the license plate goes. It has light mounts on top. Looks pretty cheesy though.

And since the license plate mount on the Expedition is only a couple little holes in the plastic bumper itself, not even reinforced, that little license plate mount is going to bounce all over with the weight of a lightbar on itand eventually fail.

+1 That's kinda why I didn't bring it up earlier.

How did you mount your light bar? What did you bolt the brackets to? I have a 2016 that I am looking to do this to.

I'd love to see what this looks like at night and can you link part(s) list?

How did you wire it? I was wondering if I could tap the fog lights power on my2015. Even if another relay is needed? Great job by the way exactly how I thought it could be done.
