from the internets...
I have similar lights, mine are made by Rigid, but same concept. Looks like he drilled the 4 holes and then likely "connected the dots" with a jig saw. I did this and even with painters tape like he has I still managed to scratch my bumper a bit.
On the other side I drilled the same 4 holes and used a 4" angle grinder and that worked better. A small air powered die grinder would work best.
Be sure to "treat" the bare metal edges prior to mounting. I painted the edges with several coats of a rust preventative paint, Rust-X I think its called. Then, I Plastidipped the entire area underneath the light and also the backside of the bumper. I had a couple cans left over so I used that. o issues so far, think I have had mine over a year.
I would suggest the Rigids from @TAP Auto best prices and quality.

Last winter, the 150 sat from November until late March. Of course, the battery died, and screwed up my trans shift module, the thing got stupid, and forgot how to shift, and stayed in one gear, I don't even know which one. Once the batt was recharged completely, things cleared up. But to keep that from happening this year, I installed this Schumaker Automatic Maintainer. I installed the same thing on my tractor as well.
Less than $40 each on Amazon.

Need opinions on my next mod. So I did the raptor grille light mod. I also like the look of the 5 roof amber clearance lights. I haven't decided to do that yet because I want to get opinions if that will look like too much or gaudy with the clearance lights as well as the raptor lights. I like the yellow, but I may do the smoked amber roof lights. What are your opinions? Too much? Go for it it'll look cool? All are welcome.

Yeah they are typically called cab lights or clearance lights (amber marker lights on cab of trucks)
By roof light I meant the 50" white led spot/flood bar over windshield, and yeah I think im leaning more towards the bar as it has way more purpose.
