Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to vehicle mounting kits for installing a vehicle light without modifying the vehicle body. The mounting kit may include a front plate and one or more back members. The front plate may have a vehicle-specific profile, thereby, providing a vehicle-specific mounting solution for installers to effortlessly attach auxiliary vehicle lights, such as strobe lights, drive lights, signal lights, and work lights, without cutting or drilling into the vehicle body. Embodiments also provide a method of installing lights on a vehicle grille without grille removal, significantly cutting installation time and the risk of damaging factory parts.
