I'm toying with the idea of installing lights like this (not these specifically) on the front of my truck. I can't seem to find a decent way to add them to my 2019 Bighorn 1500 Classic. If I look up anything about a lightbar all I can find is links to the LED bars, and that's not what I want. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions where to look for mounting hardware?

In all honesty, you're not going to get much from those lights other than a pencil/spot light beam. I've run those lights on some of my previous vehicles and yeah they get you great distance, but the beam is narrow and concentrated. If that's what you're looking for, great. But there are better, but if you're looking for something to help augment the high beams, those aren't going to help much. Adding a pod to the tow hook cutouts would be a much better option. Or, can delete the grille shutters and add lights behind the grille.

If your looking for a wider beam, consider replacing the fog lights with the DiodeDynamics SS3 Pro level SAE fog lights, they have a kit that bolts in to the factory location. They work extremely well, the beam is light up the sides of the road and is kept low. I drove in near white out snow with just them on as I was getting light reflected back from the headlights.

I had the same issue with my truck when adding my lightbar. So I just drilled holes in my bumper.

I put 7" Nightrider brand lights on mine but mounted to the bumper. I plan on keeping this truck so I didn't care.

Still have to adjust them more but they are bright and throw a long distance.
