I took a piece of 48" x 1" flatstock, and drilled it to use the 4 bumper mounting bolts. Then i have bolts going down with 3" of spacers, and the lights at the bottom. They aim on either side of the license plate.

You can use clamp-on CB antenna mounts, but they would look pretty cheesy, IMO.

No other way if you want it on the bumper. Other places to put them are behind the grille in the lower valance or get a bull bar and mount the lights to that.
