Default Driving Lights

Hi
I have just purchased a top of the line 2020 CX-5 known in Australia as the Akera.
I wish to add LED Spot Driving lights.
Does anybody have any helpful hints as to how I mount them in front of or behind the grill.
I don't want to interfere with any of the forward facing sensors.
Thanks
Paul

You can buy number plate mounts on eBay.

The number plates mount into the plastic bumper. I am not sure they will support the weight of two spot lights. Probably ok for a small light bar. Also would like the lights higher off the ground for a longer beam throw.

This type fits under licenseplate in the gab. https://www.lumendaylight.dk/lumen-h...SABEgKI2_D_BwE

Here's my solution. I made an aluminum plate inside the plastic bumber, see the red drawings. Light bar is Lazer Linear 12 Elite and despite its small size, it has a very good light output and pattern!
