Lighting is a necessity when off-roading, not many times can you add a component that looks this good while also carrying out you utility needs. Our new light mounting system for the E53 X5 looks so good we thought about leaving the lights off of it! The light bar features factory mounting with rubber end caps to finish off the installation.
The lighting options with our mounting system are basically endless. The lower bar is 33" in overall width to utilize the factory mounting and features an upper section that spans 24" in diameter. A perfectly proportional setup could include a 24" light bar or up to 4 individual light pods. There are 4 welded and reinforced mounting tabs that span 17" across the bar that are situated 5-3/8" apart from each other which leaves plenty or room for individual lights but can also accommodate almost any light bar you could want.
Common points for mounting aux lighting include the front bumper for long-throw lighting, the roof for high clearance/high perspective lighting, and the base of the A-pillar for ditch lighting. This front mount light bar bracket provides a clean, fully reversible install point for your long throw lighting needs. Fear no ditch, no dark, obstructed, or unknown path through the modern miracle of this beefy front light bar mounting system.
This front light bar mounting system doubles as both a utility for lighting and a rugged aesthetic upgrade. If you are looking to upgrade lighting but are not ready yet, fear not. You can start by adding this awesome light bar mounting system and choose your lighting option later! It looks that good.
