Yea, that'd probably work. My headlights went out on one of my trucks and I made some quick little brackets that bolted to the stock bumper bolts and heald my kc lights in place.

Seems like we took flat stock, bent it sorta to the shape of the bumper and welded a tang sticking out front for the light. I actually ran across them a few months ago or so, and it took me a second to figure out what they were for. Ace may carry something similar, but making some would be easy to do, but I'd be willing to bet any off road store will have some brackets available.
