Looking for a bumper light bar.
As per the title, I am looking for some kind of light bar. I like the "prerunner" style, however, most of them I have seen actually replace the bumper. I do not like that at all.
This is like what I would like. Anyone know a place that sells anything like this for a reasonable price?
On a side note, I am also looking for some cheap lenses for my truck. I like the eurolight look, but im not going to pay 100$+ for 'em. Anyone know of a cheap trustworthy place to but from? Mine are really getting hazy. almost dangerously so.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

You probably arent going to find a grill guard/light bar like that anywhere in the aftermarket....it will just come on a whole new bumper....but, since you have the design down already, you could always take a picture like that to somewhere that does custom tube work, and ask them how much for what you want....
As for the lights, they dont look to bad in this picture......if they're getting hazy get one of those cheap restoration kits, because EURO lenses are up there, but OEHQ has stock replacement lenses for $35 a piece and LMC generally has em pretty cheap.

anyways, thanks for the help. So if I can get the stock replacements, are there brighter bulbs I can pick up? Its been bad for a while, I just never noticed it because I almost never drive at night. Thanks again.

yeah you can get some brighter bulbs......I put some sylvania silverstars in my pickup and they made a heckuva difference, brighter light, but I hear they dont have a long life expectancy.....we'll see I guess
but yeah you can get brighter bulbs

no they're not THAT much more (maybe $10-$20 more for the pair).......I prefer the blue-tinted bulbs......work better for me in my opinion (theres a lot of disagreement about tinted bulbs and such) They seem to be a whiter light, but don't do quite as well in foggy conditions because of that.

It does look good, although I really dont want to drill into my bumper.

As for headlights you can always do an HID conversion. 
I love mine.
8000k kit. super white with very slight blue. Haven't been flashed or pulled over with them. I use them everyday and had 0 problems.
