    Hello everyone. This is my first post so please bare with me.

    One of my coworkers gave me a Rigid Industries light bar 30" that he had laying around. It is single row with the spot/flood light option.

    This is how i was able to mount it and have it pretty hidden.

    First take off the grill. Its (2) 10mm screws up top and the (2) push pins. Once you get those off then the grill come right off and you get a lot of room to work with.

    IMG_1563.jpg i removed the aluminum bar with the arrows and drilled 2 holes so i can mount the bar

    Note: For the black shields that are on each side; once i had the holes drilled i installed the driver side shield first, then mounted the light bar, finally installed the passenger side. (NO CUTTING TO THE SHIELDS WAS NECESSARY)I just flexed them and made it fit with no issues =)

    This was the most difficult part for me.(probably just lack of experience) Anyhow, i took off the black grommet on the firewall then i carefully drilled a little hole through the fabric.

    RED(+) wire to the positive terminal on the battery and the black Ground (-) wire to the chassis.

    All done. Its solid!

    Now I don't know if this will work for everyones LED Bar. This is how i made it work for me and since it was free i cant complain=) hope this helps someone
