yep, the bar that goes right across the bottom. Only advice I can really give is measure multiple times.. make good markings, so you know right where to drill, even if you're off an inch, its noticable.

Qualify that statement.

Oh, your battery knows those lights are there. If you have all those lights on, those are pulling 8 amps each x 6 = 48 amps. Thats over 30% of your alternators available output. You are cycling your battery deeper than it was designed to, its going to strand you sooner or later.

I was wanting to ask you how you mounted those lights up high. I've noticed them in your sig. I might do something like that. I was wanting four lights behind the grille anyways. I was thinking four on the lower spot, but upper and bottom might not look bad. The only thing is mounting them, unless you have your upper ones mounted behind that bar. It almost appears like that in your picture, but then I don't know where you'd mount them if so.
