Putco Hornet warning-light bars use different mounting kits for different trucks and installations. Some brackets fasten to the third-brake-light housing, while the BackRack kit attaches to a compatible headache rack. A bracket made for a 16-inch bar may not suit a 24-inch Hornet, so match the truck application, light size and exact MPN.
Choose the correct Hornet mounting location
Third-brake-light roof brackets
Vehicle-specific mounts attach at the pickup's centre high-mounted stop-lamp housing. Check sealing, year and body style.
BackRack-mounted light
Uses brackets for a compatible headache-rack frame instead of cab-mounted third-brake-light hardware.
Complete 16- or 24-inch light
A Hornet bar is the electrical warning-light assembly; mounting brackets must be selected separately where required.
Simplified mounting concepts, not manufacturer product renderings, drilling templates or exact bracket profiles.
Vehicle year and lamp length both matter. The manufacturer lists 950002 for selected Silverado/Sierra light-duty models, 950005 for new-body Ram, 950008 for Colorado/Canyon and 950009 for Maverick. Check the complete vehicle and bar application rather than selecting by a similar photograph.

Model descriptions are identification guidance, not a complete vehicle-year fitment chart. Check Putco's current application guide for the exact truck and Hornet bar.
Five checks before ordering Hornet light mounts
- Find the Hornet bar's part number and confirm whether it is the 16-inch or 24-inch version.
- Match the truck make, model, year and third-brake-light housing, or identify the exact BackRack frame.
- Do not substitute 950004 for 950005 merely because both are labelled Ram; the mounting applications differ.
- Check that the bracket is suitable for the actual light and preserves cab sealing, wiring paths and any factory rear cameras.
- Confirm warning-light colour, flash pattern and permitted use under applicable provincial/state laws before operating on public roads.
Warning-light use may be restricted. Flashing amber and other warning lights are subject to local rules about vehicle type, colour, placement and use. A product listing does not establish legal permission to operate the light on public roads.
