How To Mount LED Light Bar Behind Warlock Grill?

[Pezrock]

I've seen numerous trucks with the hidden LED light bars neatly tucked behind the grill. I love the look and I want it bad. Please advise on:

1. How to mount.
2. Size bar to purchase.

Ideally I would like it mounted directly below the RAM but I could be happy with the open space below that as well. I used a stock picture for the visual.

Look on rebel forums. Seeing as the grills are the same. You can find info there. I know as I have seen it (I have a rebel) when I look at those forums or even the rebel section of this forum.

I mounted a 20 inch light bar in the bottom slot but am looking for possibly a 26 inch bar. 26 to possibly 28 inch tops would fit in that slot. And I just made a bracket that the light is attached to and bolted it to the 2 support posts behind the bumper. And I have the 2019 1500 classic warlock.

That looks awesome. I may switch my location. Can you provide some more photos please? Specifically the way you mounted it behind the grill. Any tips? Drilling? LED bar endcap mounts or rail mounts?

Thank you for all the replies. I am learning a lot and want to get this right the first time.

The light bar I used had the rail mounts I would have rather used the end mounts to make it easier mounting wise. However I had the bracket laying around the garage. The slot can fit up to a 26 inch light bar however you only have about 24 inches mounting width. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the photos. I like what you did and will do it the same way. Really appreciated.

Done. I attached a few pictures for any interested Warlock owners. I drilled a mistake hole on the right side while asking the wife for help. That is my fault though, I should have known better when I asked. If anyone wants to see how I ran the wire, let me know. Thanks for the help everyone. I am very happy with the way it came out.

I did basically the same as Pezrock to my '16 Rebel. Used an OPT7 C1 22" light bar purchased off of ebay for $30 free shipping, opt7 was the seller. Grabbed a harness from MICTUNING off Amazon for cheapish and its great. Had to be patient when mounting to ensure it was straight...good light
