Default Generic led 30" behind the grille

Haven't seen many of our year trucks with this. Piece of angle from Lowe's fabbed to fit. Enjoy.

Like that idea, now get some flat black and paint the angle iron so it blends in.

Nice. Looks a lot simpler than what I had to build to get two of them back there. I thought about using the headlight mount, but I figured two light bars would be too heavy for that.

Tell me about it. It was raining off and on all afternoon so i'll be painting it this week. I have some matte black engine enamel to spray on it.

The bar was about $60 off amazon. I know I know you get what you pay for but this isn't a raptor and i'm not pre running the Baja. It will do for night driving when no one is around.

No night shots yet,

Looks nice, does the grill obstruct the light much or is it not noticeable?

I've got three of those 32 inch amazon bars on my truck. I found that I had to aim them up to get the foreground light down to a level that won't strain my eyes on long highway drives. There's a reason the factory makes fog lights turn off when the high beams come on......
