To identify a missing Putco Hornet mount, start with where the light sat: above the cab at the third-brake-light housing or on a BackRack frame. Then compare the vehicle model and the light's 16- or 24-inch size. These are application-specific mount designs, not interchangeable metal brackets.
Identify the original Hornet installation
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.
Identical-looking brackets may fit different cabs. 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.
How to identify a missing mount or warning bar
- Photograph the current light, old bracket footprint and truck's third-brake-light housing before removing hardware.
- Read the light's MPN and measure 16 or 24 inches; the bar length does not establish the right vehicle bracket.
- Identify whether the bracket is cab-mounted or fastens to a BackRack rather than assuming one style fits both.
- Inspect mounting hardware and roof sealing; replace damaged gaskets according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Verify the model-year application and permitted warning-light operation for the jurisdiction before restoring the system.
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.
