"Recon White Lightning" Tailgate Light Bar is what I have.
First off removed the tailgate it will make your life easier.
Theres these small tabs with screws holding them together. Those tabs have adhesive backing to them. Remove those tabs and screws but keep the washer. You'll need new longer screws and nuts.
Placed a piece of thin wood down across top tailgate then laid down the light bar set it back and use some black tape to mark the location of the tailgate bar. Make sure its centered, If you have a helper have them hold the light bar if not just tape it down with some duct tape.
Then use a small drill bit, sorry I don't recall the exact size.
Start screwing the holes in through the plastic piece but don't go all the way in, just enough to mark the exact spots for each one on the metal. Once you've done that remove the light bar and drill the holes all the way in.
Place the light bar back use the original washer then put the screw through the hole place the nut in the back and start tightening and repeat. In the video you'll see the back part.
Heres a quick video to on how to wire up the back up lights.
