I'll get better pictures when I get home, but the 12" bar I was able to mount to existing holes in the opening for the license plate using a couple small L shaped shelf brackets. The 32' curved bar required drilling 2 holes in the bumper. I looked hard at trying to mount it without drilling the bumper but I decided it was infinitely easier to just drill 2 holes. I removed the plastic trim piece and do not intend to replace it since the bar covers most of the area. There are 2 existing holes visible on either side of the light bar, but they will be filled with 2 spotlights angled to light up to the sides. The 32" curved bar was $46 and the 12" was $19 on Amazon. Pretty cheap mod for some very bright lights. I have 52" bars that I am planning to mount under the doors between the mounts for the running boards on the sides for side lighting. It should provide a massive amount of light with a low profile look. I had side lights on my previous Jeep that I loved but they mounted in front of the windshield and produced a lot of wind noise so I am looking for a cleaner route with the F350.
Switches #3 & 4 now work left and right LEDS mounted between the running board mounts. I really missed the left and right lights on my jeep but couldn't bear to mount them on the hood or the bed rails. This was a low-profile solution. They are mounted pretty low but the 52" bars should put out enough light to compensate. I hope!

Def need some pics with them on at night. You're just teasing otherwise.
Holy retina burn Batman! WTF are those LED bars on the side of your SD for?!
220 acre farm. I Like to light up the fields. I know they are overkill, but I couldn't come up with a better mounting option for smaller lights. The 52" bars fit perfectly between the floor board mounts. The lights only cost $43.58 each delivered. I made a couple simple brackets to attach them to the floorboard mounts. Less than $100 for both lights.
Any chance you can upload a pic or two of where you mounted too on the rear of the truck? Have light purchased and have a couple thoughts but like where yours are. Any issue with mud getting in them from the tires?
It will get some mud from the tires. The rear mud flaps seem to be keeping them pretty clean though. I used two mounting bolts that were already there. It puts the light at an angle that follows the contour of the bumper I thought it looked better that way but if you wanted them level you could put a few washers under one bolt and level them out.
