Last week, I replaced my KC Daylighters on my grille guard with a 21" 7200 lumen LED bar. The KC's had HID's in them but they had failed twice since I got them in 2011. So instead of replacing the HID's for a third time I just went ahead and replaced them altogether.
The first thing I had to do was measure where I was going to mount the bar as I had to drill new holes for the brackets. After doing that I drilled I believe two 5/16" holes. I started with my smallest drillbit and worked my way up until the bolts fit. Unfortunately I don't have any photos as I was pressed for time before work and I'm impatient and didn't want to wait until the next day.
After I had the holes drilled I mounted the light to the grille guard. That took about three minutes. To power the light, I used the existing wiring that I used for the KC's. For this, I used yellow for the supply to the relay and green for ground.
I ran both wires behind the headlight on the passenger side and out to where the air intake is. There was an existing ground located there so I just ran the ground to it.
The supply wire I ran into the front quarter panel around the shield for the air intake and back out to the relay.
Here is the finished product..
