Installing a light bar or driving lights

[Sunny43.5]

If you look at Markees and ours its not worth worrying about , it just does not make any difference and we often tow a fully loaded trailer and van full of MX bikes and gear .

Thanks guys. Saw what u guys have done & thought it was a great idea. Someone mentioned to me it might be worth looking into any issues with blocking airflow, but clearly u guys haven't had an issue, which is what I was hoping to hear.

How do you guys mount the LED bars in the grill area without removing the whole front bumber bar?

You will need to remove the bar as its the only way to get a nice flush fit , its not as hard as you would think to remove just a few plastic clips and scews etc .The main thing is to make sure you cut the hole neatly so it fits in nicely . Is yours a first generation T5 the later T5.1 ?

Mine is the later 5.1 (2012)

I just did this, then mounted it all back together only to have the led aiming too low! Ugh... Now I have to remove the bashguard to get to the bottom 3 bolts of the bumper... Might try find my hole saw...

I must have been lucky as both Light bars I fitted to our 2012 and my early 2005 ended up perfect in the aiming department .

Yeah, get a side mount not bottom like mine. So much effort to adjust it.
Get a lot of extensions and good sockets.
Be prepared to get sore jamming your hand inbetween intercoolers and bumpers.
Get some rags and cover the threads that the 2 10mm nuts go onto. Ask me how I now know to do this!!
I probably could have gone higher, but I used the led bar o had when it had a nudge bar. I have a longer 32 I think at my storage which I'll eventually put on. Might weld the bracket on...
