Looks good! Where did you have them mount the switch?

I wanted to try this but ended up buying a 3 bar grille and cutting an opening in the lowest bar for the putco light:

Default Switch & Mount

I had them put the switch just to the left of the steering wheel in that nice open plastic spot. Really easy access to turn off quick on highways HAHA.


When they mounted it, however, they decided to notch out some plastic to have it sit better.. I could actually see more room behind the bar so it could have fit flush, but I guess it's too late now. Won't be going back to this shop...

Default Question.

This is the light: Rough Country - 72730BL - 30-inch Black Series Single Row Curved

Here it is installed (ignore the bugs/dirt):






I need to adjust it to get the lig to throw down the road more but so far so good.
So did you cut the tabs on the bottom of the grille to get it set that deep?

Between the grille and bumper is the bottom black part of the grille. I cut that out just wide enough to fit the light and went back about an inch.
I,am going to redo it by bringing it forward about an inch because it isn't throwing the light as far as it did during test fitting when I had it out.

Makes sense. Thanks. Getting my black series installed next week. I like what you did.

That's the one I have as well. The curve doesn't match the bumper perfect but unless you get right up on it you can't tell.. Light is bright and matches the LED headlights.
