Ok so I have a RPG rear bumper and want to mount the Vision X HD Solstice lights I got from RPG to fit the holes. My question is how did you all mount these lights?

Working with these: 2.05" Solstice Solo - Vision X Lighting

I saw this option Vision X Lighting Part XIL-SFLUSH - Solo Flush Mount Adapter - 4 Wheel Parts

But it seems the size is 3.68" for the outer cover and the space in the middle of the bumper is 3" so the cover would be too big. I also have seen pics of these lights mounted without the flush mount covers. Any pics or custom brackets, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Looking to accomplish this:

I have the Raceline with sensors. I purchased the Solstice Flushmounts from amazon (Amazon.com: Vision X XIL-SFLUSHS1101 Flush Mount for 2" Solstice Lights: Automotive)

I cut the top and bottom of the flush mount disc (along the red lines in the attached pic). Using the flushmount disc on the outside of the bumper, I marked 4 holes and used stainless hardware to secure it. In the pic, the lights are Amber. The Solstice lights come with a clear lens I tinted with transparent vinyl.

Here is how we did it. It works out so a little slotting of the bracket will allow to mount to the "step" surface. Sorry for the incredibly crappy pictures.

Awesome guys, I appreciate everything so far. This gives me some ideas. @Bigg50 any input you can provide big dog?

I have the bumper with sensors by the way and no step FYI.

Mine don't sit flush against the whole. Probably about a half inch to inch back infact. The pic below is taken at a bad angle and makes it appear the light isn't lined up with the opening but it is.

There is a whole drilled through the top plate which they are fastened to.

Did you use the provided mounting bracket or did you do something custom here? I haven't looked at this myself which might be my problem. I took it to 4 Wheel Parts over the weekend to have them install and run the wires (yeah I know being lazy). They called me and said if they use the bracket it won't hang low enough to line up with the holes.

@TMX Engineer did you all slot the mounting bracket vertically so it hung lower? Or was this a vertical slotting to move it closer to the holes towards the rear?
