Looking to see if anyone has done any light bars in there 19-20 GMC grill? If so can you give a full breakdown on the specs i.e. Brand, length, 1 or 2 row where did you run the switch to??? Thanks.

I had the 20" Baja Designs S8 kit installed:

Also did the Baja Designs squadron pro pillar lights:

I paid to have everything installed, so I can't speak to the installation per se, but everything fits perfect. I do know that the grill light mounting kit won't work for the LTZ or high country grill, as another user experienced, but worked perfect in my Trail Boss.

I bought the switches and plate from https://billetautomotivebuttons.com/ and choose the colored LED buttons that light up when pressed.

I installed the Baja Design 20" bar on Monday. It's a fairly simple install as they send the brackets and the electrical cable from battery to dash switch.

You can watch a couple videos on YouTube to learn how to get the grill off. But be warned you don't take the grill all the way off, you tilt the top forward so you can reach in and loosen the 4 bolts that hold the mounts on. They slide into a space at the bottom of the grill, so the grill needs to be on.

I took the switches off the wires, taped them to a wire snake and pushed them thru a rubber "nipple" that Chevy puts on each side of the firewall for future wire runs. You need to cut the tip of the nipple off to thread the snake/wire thru. It was pretty tight so I squirted some silicon spray on it, then it went in pretty easy. It comes out in the cab above the gas pedal.

I have finished with the install of the switches, because I don't like the ones Baja Design includes. They don't match anything in the truck. I'll wait to find better switches that look more "stock".

Here's a photo of the hi beams, then the LED bar:

OP is asking about GMC not Chevy. Although those are killer installs.. 750 for a 20 inch light bar!!?!

Trvlngnrs · January 30, 2020

Sorry, I missed that!

$524.96 for the bar, complete wiring kit with terminals, plugs & switches and the mounts.

All good! Weird it's showing 749 for me looking at the link swiftks posted. Assuming it's the same one?

Trvlngnrs · January 30, 2020

It's the same. I purchased it at Battle Born Offroad. They had a lower price + a store discount.

If you want to purchase thru Baja Design, just call them and they'll pretty much give you a 10% discount.

Here's a photo of the box & light, then another photo of the switches I don't like.

2019 Sierra Denali 30 inch straight single stack Black Oak tight fit but I’m very happy with how it worked out. I had the 40 or 42 inch curved but just could not get it to fit.

I got some aluminum angle brackets from Home Depot cut to fit and painted black. Shutters still work.

I’m also curious on how and what this was mounted too

Hello all, new to the site so if this has been answered I apologize. I purchased a 2021 AT4 1500 a few months back and have been looking at LED lights for the grill and wanted a 30" bar, love this install! Do you have any pix of the mounting and brackets you picked up from Depot? Of all things I am a service manager for a Ford store but we also own a GMC/Chevy store, figured I'd go to the dark side for a while, love the truck, just needs more lights. When I had my F-250's it was easy but not a lot of room to play here. Thanks in advance!
