JCW aero kit with driving lights

So after much thought I've decided that I want to go ahead and get a JCW aero kit for my mini.
When I got my MCS it came with aftermarket driving lights installed, (KC HiLights) They're also not installed the way MINI would. The person who installed them attached them to the bumper rather than getting the separate grill and bracket. As shown below.
Now my question is Since i actually like the positioning of the lights is there a way I can re-install them after installing the new bumper that won't involve making holes in the bumper?

sure

make your own brackets

assuming you can cut, bend and maybe weld steel . . . or aluminum

or are willing to pay someone who can . . .

not meant to be snarky ... just saying anything is possible, how much are you willing to pay?

There ARE some mounting alternatives like this

but this does not match your desired position as I see it . . .

I have, the thing is that I'm not sure if the lights would sit at the same height, I see other minis around with the oem driving lights and they seem to sit too high up

Making my own brackets is not out the the questions, I just didn't want to do it and then find out that there was a premade solution out there already

I just went out to the car and I think I can get the look I want with a combination of the existing hardware and the jcw mounting brackets.

All i gotta do no is see if I can get the correct grill and brackets with the kit rather than buying them separately
