Off-road lights!

Has anyone fitted off-road LED lights to the front of their patriot?

I’m in the UK and there’s ZERO aftermarket parts available for the patriot, I bought the universal mount that sits behind the frontplate but in all honesty it looks awful so I need to mount the spots to the front bumper, I can’t find any mounting brackets in the UK at all!

so my question is - has anyone fitted spot lights to their front bumper? If so how and did you manage to do it without a mounting bracket or did you drill the lights into the bumper and bolt them in?

These are what I’ve bought and how they look in position -

All going well I’ll get 2 more in the middle -

Any advice would be really helpful

I know you already said that is complicated to find original parts, but the only way I found to fit them "nice" is using part number 82210706. Is listed in US' Ebay, so not sure if maybe can be shipped to UK.
The bracket bolts to the metal bumper below the plastic cover. No cracks or rattle.
Attaching a couple of pictures of how it looks. Hope this helps

that looks great mate, I’ll have to overseas ship them and if that’s possible it’ll be perfect!

I've seen several Patriots with lights mounted right to the plastic bumper, but I have heard stories of the plastic cracking after a while. If you do decide to go that route, take the bumper off of the vehicle and use either large metal washers on the bottom of the plastic, or even better, a large metal plate that spans the distance between the mounting bolts.
