    Having trouble installing these brackets for my 32in light bar in the grill. Its the brackets for the grill (not the lower bumper), and I cant seem to find any install vids or descriptions, and no instructions came with it. Does anyone know?

    Hello,

    We are currently scheduled to shoot the install video for this product next week. Here is an install guide for you in the mean time.

    I have circled the two holes on your picture where the mount goes so please use that as a reference.

    1. On the bottom mounting hole take the factory plastic clip out.
    2. Set the mount into position.
    3. The smaller 1/4" hardware and spacer are for the top mount. The larger 5/16" hardware is for the bottom mount.
    4. For all the hardware, install lose, do not torque right away.
    5. Starting on the bottom it goes as follows Bolt -> Washer -> LED Mount -> Plastic Bumper -> Metal Cross Bar -> Washer - Lock Nut
    6. On the top mount it goes as follows Bolt -> Washer -> LED Mount -> Aluminum Spacer (if you don't have our lower bumper kit) -> Metal Core Support Bracket -> Washer -> Lock Nut
    7. Once those are in place, you can now put the LED up. There are various holes for different grills. I noticed in your profile pic you have a 2018 grill so you can use just about any hole you want to get the desired height. We will put the LED on then set the grill in place to see where the height is and if we like the placement.
    8. New LED hardware is included and goes as follows Bolt -> Lock Washer -> Large Washer -> LED Mount -> LED
    9. Now that the LED is where you want it, tighten the bolts on the LED.
    10. Tighten the bottom and top bolts
    11. Wire it up
    12. Re-Install the grill

    If you have any questions please let us know. Sorry for the missing video. We have a plan next week to do a whole bunch of video and we are also going to start including paper instructions with our mounts soon as well.

    Do I have to trip the wind deflectors? Not sure how to get them back in. Also, when will the install video be out?

    Last week, apparently.

    Whatever you see in the video, don’t let them convince you to use a stepbit.

    You don't use the wind deflectors, just throw them away.
    Also, make sure everything is loose and don't tighten anything until everything is in place.
    Install was a breeze, but don't get me started on their fog lights. That's a nightmare and frustration...

    I was joking, cuz they said it’d be last week and here you are still without it.

    I would trim if it looks like you have to. They didn’t mention it in that quick write up, so might depend on your specific application.

    Holy cow... I have the fog lights, already on my 3rd replacement because of them developing condensation, and they are already developing some. Total nightmare

    Yeah I wasted $140 on their lights too.
    Wish I would have done some more research before buying them.
    Live and learn I guess. The old saying, you get what you pay for is very true!

    Thanks, you too!

    I was impressed with their brackets for the bumper light bar. Fog lights were what completely made me loose faith in their company and products.
    Contacted them many times for new pigtails and they were the same each time they shipped out. Now I'm left with only one side working. Don't want to cut into the oem wires as it's a brand new truck.

    Damn, with that many times I bet you can take them out and swap new ones in the dark blindfolded. Haha.
