Mount for light bar / spot lights

[Diver3284]

Thinking a light bar, also worried about weight

Unfortunately the 'inside' of the front bumper cover has no structure and is very flimsy, so mounting the readily available number plate light bar won't work unless you are using very, very light (no pun intended) units. Also unless you are looking at a very low profile LED light bar it will interfere with the. adaptive cruise control, the sensor for which is in the VW badge in the middle of the grille.

I have been looking for a simple way to mount lights since I got my car in January 21017, so far without success. PM me if you discover how it might work without a full custom job.

I have a 2015 Tiguan and I fitted a 32 inch Stedi curved light bar behind the bottom part of the lower grill.
It was "Professionally Fitted" using a Stedi number plate mount first up when I was working in Melbourne in early 2020.
When I moved back to Townville I refitted it to its current position.
The Front bar reinforcement is hardened steel which I could not drill thru with cobalt drills.
I got the four bolt holes water jet cut by a local sheet metal shop ( Cost $50 )
I am a Aircraft Engineer by trade
