I'm getting ready to install my lights on my 18 Silverado. I've seen a couple videos on youtube of silverados like mine with a 6 head stick mounted in the grill and an 8 head mounted in the back window(both of which I have from my Colorado). Anyone have any ideas how to mount these?? TIA

L brackets would work for both. Go to any home improvement store and pick up some predrilled angle iron and rattle can of bedliner to fab up your own.
Keep the grille bar in the lower half of the grille so the headlights don't drown it out at night. Put the rear window bar as close to the top as possible.

I’d look for the plastic screws that hold up the headliner, replace them with self-tapping screws to hold L-brackets up for the rear lightstick. Most lightsticks have the studs on a track so that you can align them where you want them. Make sure you get a TIR optic lightstick to punch through the tint & adjust the brackets so that the light stick hugs the window (or else you’ll have bad flashback)
For the front grill, I’d recommend mounting the light stick in the upper part of the grill b/c I think the lights are not effective if u mount it down low. However, when u do mount the light stick in the upper grill, use a light stick that doesn’t have clear lightheads (ie all blue, all red, etc) and choose a flash pattern that provides a large footprint/block of light (if u have small split patterns or multiple colors then they’ll get drowned out by high beams at night)
