I've had 2 different shops tell me they can't install these to my bumper b/c to tightn them down might cause the bumper itself to 'divit' and then over time, crack, break etc. Anyone know what the Mopar brackets look like or how they attach? I know there has to be someone out here who has done it right without paying for the whole Jeep kit ;-)

I saw these in a random gogle search of Patriot stuff one day.

Jeep Patriot Driving Light Wiring Kit - Wiring for Bumper mounted Driving lamps. Do not use with Day time running lamps.
Use with 82210706AD Brackets & 82210821 lights

Sounds like you want the Driving Light Bracket.

The interesting thing I see on that page, and have seen on others re: the driving lights is the: 'Do not use with Daytime Running Lights'

Cheers,
