There are holes in the side of the frame. then pulled the headlights (3 10mm bolts) and used a push wire tie clip to the parking light wire (hot) the ground I just drilled where the bushing mounts are under the door & used a self tapping screw.
I got the lights off ebay 48" long.

Took about 30/45 minutes. I did wash down and dried the frame first before mounting the lights.

Sorry. No pics, but it was a very simple bracket. I used a piece of metal about 1/8 thick (can use anything stiff enough to support the weight) about 2 inches by 4 inches and drilled a small hole in one end then used the hole saw that came with the light to drill a hole at the other end. then I installed the light in the hole then with the other hole bolted it to the bottom of the running board using an existing hole from the factory that was not used. luckily this hole was right behind the front running board bracket so it blocks mud/snow/debris from getting thrown up and damaging the light. before putting it in I wrapped the light with a bunch of electrical tape in case the light housing wasn't water proof.
