You should also install some of the round led lights in the fog holes.

I mounted it on a piece of about 2"x2" Aluminum Angle. Got a 60" long piece at the local recyclers for $4. It bolts up to the factory headlight mount (2nd crappy pic), and is pretty sturdy.

I don't have the info package so I mounted the switches there.

Third is with 10" and 30" on.

Thanks for the pics. It puts out a lot of light even behind the grill.

realist_alive try opening them in a new tab?

I still want to paint the bracket, and clean up the wiring a little around the battery, but it's getting cold up here.

I thought it'd be better to mount the bigger light in the upper grill, and get it a little higher off the ground. I want to get an amber lens for the lower. Overall I'm pretty happy with them although I haven't tested them on any dark, long highways yet.

I was just reading on the LED's in the lower grill...Im thinking of doing the same thing with my 2006 Ford F150. I thought of getting a 30" Light bar but its too tight and so will go with a 20" instead. I just need some help on how to mount it and is there a kit for it?

there is no kit that I know of. But I do think there are a couple how to's on here from other members that have done it. I'm gonna be mounting a 30" behind my grill soon. I have the new cree xb-d led bars and they are awesome. Will be getting it In soon to test and begin selling

What the 30" bar would have to shine through if I mounted it behind the upper grill.

Who makes this 30" bar?
