Mounting aux. lights to 2ng gen taco bumper

Hey guys ,
looking to mount a pair of lightforce blitz 240's to the bumper on my 2ng gen taco. Ive done some research and cant find out what i need to do. I think its only plastic where i want to mount them, without partially blocking my headlights. just seeing what you guys have for ideas or where i could buy of fab something to make it work. I am thinking I am going to need something preatty rigid because the lights are heavy , 32 ounces each i think . Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks Ben

Your right, The plastic front bumber will not do. The lights will just wobble. There is some solid frame members behind the bumber but you would have to have custom fab'ed brackets made. A good after market bumber would be your best bet for mounting lights of that size.
