No worries. I want! Can you show me how you mounted and wired those in maybe through PM??
2016 5.7L Ram 1500 QC
Raining here in the Big Easy, but I'll get pix after work today or tomorrow.. I didn't think to take while I was fabbing up the mount. But short answer is, removed the plastic piece.. 4 screws. Light bar has L bracket to mount on pivot. I needed to bend the double metal pieces below bumper bracket just a bit that were sticking into the opening , and I needed that couple of inches. Wiring is out of box directly to battery with inline fuse, but I bought waterproof relay to activate from Accy. Bluetooth with app otherwise to control modes of flood, beam or color or both..

Wow just what i need for the 2018 SLT CC. The bumper has two black hole openings. Inside heavy steel. 4 holes each side. Suspect that it is where the factory tow hooks would go. Want the lights to install flush with bumper. 1. Any one know if there is a brand that bolts thru the factory holes? 2. Is there an electrical connection down there that I can plug into and operate the lights from the cab?
on my 14, The 4 bolt holes for the plastic are too far above and below the opening. No other option I could make work( I'm not a welder, which probably would have made it easier). No electrical for that spot. I have oem fog lights but didn't want to tap into that line. Bumpers, being curved, I didn't want lights angled outward so I bolted directly to frame in back of opening, with composite spacer to seat it just in front of the bumper bracket that is in the way a bit.

Added 8" led driving/fog lights into the tow hook spot.. Bluetooth and can change color from white to amber for fog. Looks oem imho. Going to put the plastic insert back on with cutouts for lights next weekend for a clean look.
