I'm looking for a light bar option for the opening in the center of the front bumper where the license plate bracket is. My truck is a 2015 XLT FX4 screw. I just measured, and the opening is approx. 18.75" wide. Looking for something that fits with very minimal spacing left over on each side. Any suggestions and or pictures would be greatly appreciated!
You can do what I did... throw a 23" LED bar on your license plate frame...
We sell a license plate frame bracket and all kinds of LED bars
Check out our site under the LED Bars, there is a 23" AuxBeam and then under LED Bar Mounts under UNIVERSAL is a Front bumper license plate mount.
It's held up so far on our truck. I'd recommend if you go this route you add some extra screws into your license plate bracket to hold the bracket to the truck, since it's just clipped in.
Thanks guys. I'm really looking for a straight bar that would fit pretty flush on the sides in the opening where the front license plate bracket is. We don't need front license plates in FL, so it's not an issue for me to remove the bracket.
Check our site our, under the LED Light Bar Section. Lots of sizes to choose from. Just figure out which size works best for you. I've seen people remove the license plate bracket and install a light bar in there.
I planned to do that myself, i even bought the Eco Boost shroud that has the opening to replace mine.
I've seen some guys just make a cut-out in the plastic that covers the front (on the V8's) and fit a light bar in there.
Sounds good, thank you. I will take a look shortly.

Do you have the ecoboost or 5.0? I been looking to mount a light bar. I have the ecoboost but not sure I want to mount a led light bar in the opening. Curious what effects the intercooler would have blocking almost 50% of the airflow with a light there.
I'd think the biggest you could go would be 14-15" and still be able to access the mounting hardware. There are several manufacturers out there - but after a quick google search...
I have the 5.0 I've read that some people say you have to be careful with an ecoboost when mounting in that location because of the intercooler.

Thank you. I was actually looking at their 17" version. I believe the opening is 18.75" so I think it will fit as the mounting brackets are underneath. Still researching though.....
