Default Front bumper light bar mount

Hats a good place to mount a LED light bar on the front of a 97? I don't like the idea of one behind the grill. Saving the grill to put led floods behind them. I really like to mount a light bar to the hole in the front bumper between the fogs. But can't seem to find a good way to mount it in the hole. What have you guys done? Or any ideas how I could mount one?

I hate it when I can't mount it in the hole.

I would love to know exactly what light bar you bought and how you mounted and all of it. That's exactly what I'm looking for

but it might be cooler looking back now to throw in a curved LED light bar in there it would throw out a lot wider beam of light
