i'm interested in getting some fog/driving lights for my square. i'd like to mount them on a bar as seen below (gallery pics). is this an accessory itself? what are the more common terms so that i can search these out and people know what i'm talking about? thanks.

I know a guy locally who makes those, I believe they are around $100 raw not chromed and $150-$175 chromed, I can check with him if you need one...

Hey Anthony can you also send me the info or post here [I guess]. I have some 6" clears that I would love to mount on my new Notch. I am using the Flat 4 over riders so if the bar he makes works with those I'm in...Mahalo

Most of the made for VW foglights have a [ -shaped clamp that goes around the bumper bracket, too. you might consider that option as well. The ugly exposed clamps in the pic you used negate the coolness of the bar.

| The clamp on Ebay is a universal license plate bracket. |

They could probably be adapted to support spotties. Obviously would need to made strong enough to support the weight and handle any vibration. But it would save drilling the bumper... 
I'm in the process of looking for a mount as I've just got a bumper with overriders. I had brackets bolted to the bumper brackets but the overriders are in the way now, but I want to keep my fogs.

As mentioned above that bar that Anthony may have info on it the way to go IMO. Clean install. Haven't heard anything since this thread started. I'll e-mail him and see if he has any source.
