What light brackets to use on OEM brushguards?

[2007HummerH2]

Well the title says it all....both my fiance and I have OEM brush guards on our H3's. We would like to install our Bosch Pilot 160's on them. We are having difficulty finding an 1 3/8" bracket that will work and look good at the same time. We bought some PIAA brackets.....made really nice, but don't really fit the bar that well, and clamp screw hits the lower plastic bumper......just doesn't work well.
Can you please post some pics of what you have done?

Don't have any specific products, but try looking on UTV accessory sites. They tend to have lots of roll cage mounts that will fit the smaller tubing diameter.

Are these what you have? I have had a set like this since my first H3 and still using them, and never had a problem mounting them on either H3 brush guard.

those are the parts we bought....they have changed the part...now only offers one screw in them, and the bracket is slightly different.

Now, that ladies and gentlemen (the 4 consecutive posts above from M22 within 1 minute of each other) is the classic and best example of post-whoring at its finest! :rofl:

First to 500! :giggle:


BUT.... At least 3 of them were useful and all 4 were on topic!

Oh man, Dan. That made me laugh when I saw those posts!!

When I got mine back in 2006, there were the single screw models too. I opted for the double screw. They are a slight pain to install, best is to purchase the required size bit in a 1/4 drive use a ratchet. (I had to angle the light mounting area down to make the tightening of the screws a bit easier, but that made no difference in the mounting of the lights (originaly KCs, then went to Pro Comp).

The ones on my current H3 have been there since day one, and the same ones were on my 06 for two years, and they are rock solid.

You could always do something like Bigunit's H3T. He has a couple of tabs welded onto his OEM brush guard for his Hummer/Bosch lights. Maybe he would post a couple of pictures for you. :wink:

Happy to do it. I'll take some pics and post them up tonight when I get home from work. I have a line-x'ed OEM brush guard. Originally, the brush giard had 4 tabs welded on but the 2 outside tabs were too long and cut/rubbed into the grille, so I ground them off and mounted my lights on the 2 remaining inside tabs
