Light bar in 1500 bumper?


Recommended Posts

Who’s installed a light bar in the 1500 front bumper? I’ve seen a few pics of it in the 1/2ton and mostly in the hd trucks as they have a larger bumper.. 

looking for info on which brand to use as they all have their own Product dimensions.

I talked to a guy on instagram that mounted a 21" single row led bar where your talking about.  Thats what I'm going to to for these back country 2 lane roads.  Since the brights on my truck suck so much!!!

Seen several, there are a few models that you can not do it with.  Believe that it can not be done with the Z71s.  The pictured LTZ can probably take 2 LED bars, in the middle of the bumper.

I’ll look into it some more. Wanting to order one in the next week or so. I’ll fab brackets or do what I have to do. I haven’t had the front bumper apart yet. I asked and post that pictures because I have the same truck as in the picture.

Yes, exactly. I think 20” was what I measured but I’ve never seen a 21” bar before. Maybe it’s a 20 but the casing makes it an overall 21”? 
I know the diode dynamics one is 20” but measures to 21” and is nice and slim like the one you’ve posted a link to. Guess I’ll just have to take the bumper apart and see how much room there is

I got mine off Amazon 21 inch for my 2015 GMC Sierra.  I also got an illuminated rocker switch that I cut into the panel below the steering wheel.  It only works when the ignition is on as I wired it into the fuse panel on the driver's end of the dash.  The drawback is that the illuminated "on" switch is partially obscured by the steering column.  Also be careful where you place a switch if you use that panel as there is substantial metal backing behind it.  Very impressed with 180 degree bright light for our rural roads.

I have a 2018 Sierra SLT 5.3 Crew Cab with the active shutter system. I'd like to mount auxiliary driving, not flood, lights behind the grill. Does anyone have any suggestions for lighting options?

I purchased a 20" Single row LED bar from Rough Country. Fits perfectly in that space you are talking about. pic21.thumb.JPG.9bd5c8dbf43e1a8a1c94292b8f3ff7fd.JPGBshelz1.thumb.JPG.9a84bf362ff2e938d486c9cfa4b8e175.JPG

This is Perfect. I’ll probably end up with the same one. 
how difficult was it to mount it in there? Any chance you could share more info/tips for the next guy
