Here are the ones I used, I did dremel off side tabs and inserted through front of grill. Held in with double sided tape wrapped around barrel of light. I used the smoked lense but amber lense is also available on Amazon.

Looks nice but I’m looking for something that looks like it came factory. I’ve seen 4th gens with it. I’m also not looking for a whole grille replacement.

Something like this but as an insert. I rather not replace the whole grille.

That rough county stuff would be a great template for Police and fire departments.

Can you run the power wire directly to the battery terminal on these leds if you want them always on, or do they need to be tapped into an existing harness?

Not only should they be fused, but use a relay so they are only powered when the truck is running.

How did you go about wiring them?

All the lights are daisy chained together and I ran the ground of the led's to the driver side fender where there are a couple of ground bolts. For the 12v power I initially wanted to tap into the parking lamp wire behind the headlight but found it hard to get to(not a lot of room to probe for correct wire) and thought it was quicker and easier just to run a wire back to my from my curt T harness that I used for my tailgate bar in the back and tap in the parking lamp wire of t-harness to supply the 12 volts when the parking lamps are turned on.

Amazon but it looks like they're unavailable now. May be able to find something similar though.

these the same under a new link? How did you mount them? I've seen plenty on wiring and even mounting the round ones that fit in the honeycomb of the grill, but these obviously won't fit like that.
