2003 E150 Chateau Aux front lighting

I'm wondering if anyone is using aux lighting in addition to their headlights and if so where do you have them mounted and what style/type.


I've looked for a new lower front valance where the plate mount would be in the center and I could get some round lights out on the ends of it. I don't really like the ones that mount on top of the bumper, the old fashioned way and can't tell how well ones would work mounted on the backside/behind the grille area. I would like them for additional lighting, not looks.


anyone have thoughts/choices/options/recommendations? Pics?

I have a brushguard from Go Rhino on my van, and two fog lights mounted on the center bottom bar. Sadly both bulbs are burned out right now but they work great placed there.

Hey DJ, thanks for the suggestion.


the brush/bull bar has been on my mind, but a bit more $$ than I was thinking of.


BTW I like those tires, BF Goodrich? what size? I'm running the Michelin MS2 stock size.

Hankook Dynapro ATM 245/75/16. I got the set from Discount Tire mounted and balanced for under $560 last summer. They re-balanced the two fronts today for free.

Before the Go Rhino was installed on my van it had the standard lower valance Sherrod uses on their vans, with the wiring and fog lights installed to the sides.
