Considering a Light Bar for Your Capable Bumper? Watch This First

[MandRautomotive]

Hey everyone,

If you're running the Capable Bumper on your Bronco and want more usable light without adding a bulky setup, I wanted to share one of our favorite options.

Our 2021+ Ford Bronco Capable Bumper 40" SLIM Light Bar Kit is designed specifically for the factory Capable bumper and installs using the existing mounting points. It's a complete bolt-on kit—no cutting, drilling, or grille removal required—and mounts neatly above the bumper for a clean, integrated appearance. It's available in White, Amber, or White with an Amber DRL backlight, and every kit is backed by M&R Automotive's lifetime warranty.

If you're wondering how it performs once the sun goes down, we also put together a light output video so you can see the beam pattern and real-world visibility.



We'd love to hear what everyone is running on their Bronco. Are you sticking with a hidden bumper light bar, adding ditch lights, or building a full lighting setup? If you have any questions about fitment or installation, feel free to ask—we're always happy to help.

I like it, but in NY that’s where the license plate holder is

Thank you for producing an informative video that emphasizes performance instead of cosmetics.

I'd like to see another video showing the PRO performance.

Do the lights have an IP rating?

HEre is an awesome video showing the difference between slim and PRO lightbars. Both are rated IP68

Get the DV8 license plate relocation bracket. It looks way better than factory even if you don’t get the slim light bar.

Not for me:

So happy with my M&R light bar!

This is exactly what I am looking for. Already have the DV8 angled frame bracket. Any discount codes for Bronco6G members @MandRautomotive ?

I bought my bronco this past May here in NY and they never drilled for a front plate.
Just going to rock the clean aesthetic until one of our road pirates finds a reason to bother me. Still plenty of folks with windshield tint driving around, so hopefully I'll be fine. lol

Just FYI, if you park on a street where parking cops patrol, they can issue you a ticket without you being present. Happened to me in Yonkers. Get the DV8 plate bracket and save yourself $110 in tickets.

I'll keep this in mind. Although if I find myself looking for street parking in a city, I'm just making more bad decisions.

That being said, this setup for the capable bumper looks pretty slick. Looks like the Pro has a little longer of a throw in light projection. Prices aren't too terrible either.

If you're looking into adding a light bar to your Bronco's factory Capable Bumper and want to see exactly what's involved before getting started, here's a full installation walkthrough that should help.

Mike walks through the install step by step, covering bracket placement, wiring, and final fitment so you can see how the kit comes together and what the finished OEM-style setup looks like. It's a great resource whether you're planning to tackle the install yourself or just want a closer look at the process.



Hope this helps! If anyone has questions about fitment, wiring, or the different light bar options for the Capable Bumper, feel free to ask. We'd also love to see more photos from anyone who's already running the setup on their Bronco.
