LED Light Bar Mount On Lower Grill

So I've seen on these forums people that have their 1st gens with an LED light bar mounted to the lower grille. Would these just be mounted right to the bumper using the stock mounting gear that comes with the lights or is there a special way to make it more secure? Is there any cutting involved in this as I can't see anyone explain how to actually mount it there.
Thanks!

There is a piece of box tubing (3 sided) behind the bumper run horizontally almost perfectly behind the front license plate holder. Drilling through the plastic bumper and through this will give you a solid mounting point. It is fairly easy to get a hand up there to thread the nuts and tighten them down with a ratchet.
