Default KC Light Install and Keep the Tow Hooks - Suggestions?

I would like to mount some KC Daylighters on my FX4. Seems like the easiest way is to get a Bull Bar. However, all the bull bars I find say the I am going to lose my tow hooks which is a no-no for me. Any suggestions? I already have a light bar so using that instead of the Daylighters is not an option.

Check the lumens of the KC and compare with 2X2 cubes from Rigid etc. If similar just mount them in the bumper opening.

N-Fab makes a light bar to mount them to. Right in line with the bumper. Check it out.

Thanks to all for the replies. I've had these on my last three vehicles and - although I can imagine that there are some cubes that may be brighter - I just want to keep using them as long as I can. Old school ya know. Thx again

What's the size of them? I'm sure you could make a bracket/bar that mounts in the lower opening (where the license plate is on the 5.0)

That's a great idea. Especially when my best buddy (been in both my weddings - but that's for a different forum - ha) has a fab/machine shop. Thx for the idea!
