I've searched on here and got a few ideas, but I'm looking for front led lights to mount on a factory bumper. Do you have a picture of what you did or have seen done?
 
There is always the option for the Rigid driving lights from Polaris. They are a bit expensive, but they’re really good lights. Also, they’re mostly pre-wired in just needing the dash switch and a Y-harness. Those will come with the light set from Polaris, along with a metal mounting bracket for behind the plastics.

There are less expensive options from a dozen or more manufacturers that will work as well. I personally have used GG Lighting several times and they have good quality lights at reasonable prices, with lifetime warranty. While mine isn’t the stock bumper, it is the Polaris HD bumper which I put 2 GG Lighting GP10s in.

I just purchased the switch and Y-harness separately from Polaris so I could use the factory wiring.

Lasfit 12” light bar , auxbeam 4” amber powered by an auxbean 6 gang switch panel. Not a big fan of tube clamps for the amber lights but they work until I weld tabs on…

Ebay, I picked up the factory ridgid lights for half the price. You can get them in spot or fog. Then got the factory switch and harness. Works perfect and saved a bunch of dough.

For the front bumper I put on an 11.5 inch single row attached to the top of the front bumper for stability. I also added 2 dome lights inside, one over the back seat and one over the cargo area that are LED and work great. There are existing mounts under the headliner for the additional dome lights.
The 41 inch top bar and the bumper are more than adequate for night riding here in the desert. I have spent a lot of money and overkill on my jeeps that was just not needed.

So what are you using to attach the light to the bar? Did you use the factory wire provided? If so was the wire inside long enough to put the switch at the center switch area?
 
I used a ring attachment I got through the dealer (picture below) that clamps on the bar with studs to attach the light bar.

I used a Polaris wiring harness from the bus to the switch.

I did a similar installation but my single row light bar is operated by a remote switch so I can turn on both inside and outside of the cabin. After talking to my friend who drives off road racers he said to get the yellow lens lights which work best in the AZ dust, which I also added and they are fantastic.

I did a blinker flood light combo, posted this on another thing but the interior is a flood light. I’m happy, it’s not overly bright but that’s what the 50 inch light bar is for!
