Has anyone looked into a light bar or small extra driving lights installed on the factory bumper?

I saw one behind the grill install. And a few winch bumper inserts with a space for light bars. DV8 is working on one, search here and you’ll find pictures of their prototype.

Do you think the 4 Runner Trail Hunter Lightbar would work in the same spot?
Westcott Designs has an LC with an amber light behind lower grill that looks really good.
The best ‘behind the grill’ driving lights that I ever saw, was ~50 years ago when the next door neighbor, had airplane landing lights mounted behind the grill of his Buick Riviera. He was an airport administrator at the Daytona Beach International Airport.
One time he came home late, and lit up the entire street that all of my friends and I were playing on. He would flash them at rude oncoming drivers, who refused to dim their bright lights. It only took one flash, and they behaved.
Later, I questioned him about them and he said that he could only leave them on for short period of time, or they would melt the plastic grill, while draining his battery.

Lol. Good thing these are LED and driving lights.
Here’s my current set up. Modified an existing 3g tundra hidden bumper bracket with a 20” S8 both sold by baja designs.

. This looks great! How much was this installed? Great job!
Looks great. . What’s the height of the Westcott rack at the top of the light bar? The distance from the roof top to the top of the light bar? Light brand?
Baja Designs offers a great product, but they are expensive. I would like to swap out the OEM fog lights to Rigid amber ones, but I don't have the model number.
Yes! Many Tacoma owners have installed a lightbar or small driving lights on the factory bumper. A 20 to 32 inch curved lightbar fits nicely on the lower bumper, and pod lights work great in the factory fog light cutouts with minimal modification. Just make sure to use a relay harness for clean wiring. Check out these Toyota Tacoma Lightbar options for great fitment choices!

I used his wiring harness also which allows a Bluetooth connection to the lights. Works great. Only issue is the entire front bumper has to be removed. I did not want to do this and cost for labor as $225.00.
Lights are plenty bright I put the white on top.
