Default Installed N-Fab Light Bar

Installed my Christmas present the other night. Talk about a big pain in the a**! I didn't realized that cutting would be involved until I received the light bar. I haven't found anyone here that's installed one yet, and there isn't any pictures online. I'm not sure I would have got it if I knew cutting was involved. I have a few pics that show the one side I cut. I cleaned it up afterwards and the other side went much better. The lights are Rigid and Totron. I'm not sure how I feel about the Totron's yet. THey have Cree LED chips, but I'm not a fan of the mounting hardware. Anyway, here's some pics.

Some of them are orientated odd in the preview, but seem to fix themselves when opened full size. Edit: Fixed it.

I'm personally not a fan. I think they look funny.

Can you go a bit in depth about the wiring. I really want a light bar on the front of my Sport but am sheepish about the wiring process.

Is the setup similar to this video from F150 LED (he gets to the point at 4 minutes)

Are rigids harness simlar to the video

Nice Job,,,thats looks great and the bar is rugged. I think a 50" curved light bar would look great there to match the curve of the bumpa...

Did they send you the right one? Seems odd that the 2014s appear to not require cutting. Now the 2015s you have to slice n dice to get it mounted.

Bringing this thread back from the dead... Did you drill the bottom hole on the bumper mount or is it holding steady with just the top bolt?

It held steady as it was. I no longer have it mounted though. Went a different route.
