    well this is kinda a random thought since I don't run lights in my grille but I'd think it'd be under the same principles of a tube bumper, you can secure it from however many middle points down the middle, the bumpers always shake terrible till you add in side supports. Maybe try securing the left and right side of it somehow to a different section of the vehicle?

    Probably an off the wall question... Where did you all get the material for the light bar? Does Home Depot or Lowes carry the material?
