Does anyone have info on light bar mounts for the more traditional style lighting on the 2017-18 Raptor? I’ve seen mostly LED light bar mounts, and that’s just not my thing.

Combing the internet has yielded only one result from Foutz Motorsport, and I’m not about to shell out the $800 plus for that.

if you’re not concerned about the front camera, you could check out the n-fab bars. They have one without a top or cover bar that might work for you.

As @smurfslayer mentioned, the only other options besides the Foutz Motorsports mount are the N-Fab mounts. There are different options available for both straight and curved bars, both with and without an over the top hoop. Let know if we can help get you set up or answer any additional questions for you!

big what did you have in mind... you have a few different options

1) Baja Designs has a slim line LED bar that goes behind the grille. It's a smaller LED bar but tucks away nice: Baja Designs Ford, Raptor 2017 30" S8 Grille LED Light Bar Kit - 4x4TruckLEDs.com

2) Baja Designs also has a smaller 10" OnX6 kit for the lower grille, again tucks in nice: Baja Designs Ford, Raptor 2017 OnX6 Hi-Power Lower Grille LED Kit - 4x4TruckLEDs.com

3) You then have the upgraded fog light kits from them as well, giving you 3 pairs of lights in the fog light opening on the new Raptors: http://www.4x4truckleds.com/led-auxiliary-lights/baja-designs/raptor-2016-lighting-kits/

4) From here you can also do other LED bar mounts if you want to do something a bit cheaper. Again they are more your full/size style bars however. This one is from ZROADZ: ZROADZ Top of Front Bumper LED Light Mounting Kit Combo with 40″ Curved Light Bar and Wiring Harness - 4x4TruckLEDs.com

The ZROADZ one sits just below your camera (part of your front camera will get blocked) and it's more "out there" so to speak.

They also have a dual LED kit that goes behind the front grille so

5) ZROADZ Raptor OEM Grille LED Mounting Kit Combo with (2) 6″ LED Light Bars and Wiring Harness - 4x4TruckLEDs.com

6) This is similar to the Baja Designs lower grille, but it's more of a cheaper bar to go with (the OnX6 is a better bar though): ZROADZ Behind Lower Bumper Grille LED Light Mounting Kit Combo with 10″ LED Light Bar and Wiring Harness - 4x4TruckLEDs.com

7) You can also mount Baja Designs lights to the pillar/roof corner as well which give it a more "tucked away" feel, as they don't stick out. (this is a photo on a Gen1 Raptor but same idea)

What did you have in mind though outside of the above options? If you can dream it, it can be done. IF there is a bolt on kit for your "dream" is another question... Lemme know what you had in mind we'll see what we can come up with

I think he means something like this with HIDs or other round lights

@Aaron, that was my understanding as well. The N-Fab mounts would work nicely for this setup and you could add 4-5 lights spending on their size thanks to N-Fab’s multi-mount setup. While there is a 30” Light Bar mounted here, the bar itself has multiple mounting holes to get everything dialed in.

Of course, you’re going to lose your front camera visibility, but that going to be unavoidable with any of these round light setups.

The "old school" look ehh. I love that old school look but it's gotta get done right.

You'd need a way to mount it like a small bull bar or a new off-road bumper, to get them to mount up like that.

There are no "bolt on" kits that I know of to let you do this (other then what Nick mentioned about the N-Fab mount). I have some universal mounts for the front license plate bulb but they can't hold that many lights.

However if you put a bull bar on then you can mount a few lights either old school round or the new Square kind. KC makes round LED lights which we sell.

Just gotta know what you're willing to do.

This is the Radius one from N-FAB which I really love with the square lights (shoulda done this on my ADD bumper)

Personally I think if you're gonna do big round HIDs, a roof mount is the way to go. Get those long range lights way up high.

Impulse offroad makes one also. I can't seem to find a picture though. The raptors that are used in Raptor Assault use them.

While I️ agree that it’s definitely best to get the long range lights as high as possible, our shop truck with 5 KC HID Pods still provides plenty of light for the trail.
