    Hello! First time posting here.
    First!of all, in no shape or form I am advertising this brand. I got this bumper installed and I cant not find any resources online on how to install the the 20inch led light to the bumper.

    Anyone, have any tips or suggestions on how to get this installed, I appreciate it. I asked one of the shop owner over the DM, and he quoted me 385 dollars to get it installed. and I thought he was a nice reasonable guy.

    thank you for your help! Truly.

    Probably would have been easier to install the light bar before mounting the bumper

    Take the nuts off of the light bar

    Place light bar in the slotted bracket you took a picture of.

    Add washers

    Screw nuts back on. Maybe move to regular square nuts depending on wrench access.

    Are you sure?

    To me it looks like the light bar has fixed threaded posts with security nuts on them.

    Internally wrenching security nuts? They are cap head bolts/screws

    Will look like a pain in the ass to thread the bolts in tbh. Will an Allen key fit back there?

    Doesn’t look like it. Personally I’d change out the Allen bolt for a hex bolt, then there would be no access issues.
