Default Offroad Lights?

Anyone mount offroad lights or light bars yet on their '15s? Would love to see pictures of placement of the mount, whether it be in the grille or on a brush guard. I have not found a bar made for the '15s yet that I like to put a light bar on.

Also if people are wiring them to the high beams or a separate aux switch, and place of the switch?

My main use would not necessarily be for offroad trails. But more of an enhancement to the high beams, since where I live there are plenty of back roads full of deer, or the lovely snow storms we get (foot of snow last night).

IN! I've been trying to figure out how to mount one as well. id preferably like to have one in the bumper like on the older set ups. but don't think I could do it cleanly on my xlt sport bumper.

This youtube video showed up a bit ago featuring the TRex Torch Grille, however I have yet to see it materialize anywhere.

That is exactly where I am, I have a Sport grille and will think about putting one in the grille. Too cold to go out and measure anything.

I have been staring at mine and measuring for a few days. It does not appear there is room to mount one behind the grille on my Lariat sport due to the active grille shutters. I have another idea but not sure I'm ready to pull the trigger on cutting stuff up yet.

If that holds true for the XLT Sport, which I am guessing it does, I will wait for a bar similar to the bull bar to mount it too

I take it you have the 5.0? Unfortunatley not a viable option for us EB guys.

I just pulled the trigger on a 20" bar. Probably a week before it arrives and then I can play with placement ideas I have.

I have a rigid 20" bar sitting in my shop due to no place to put it! The grill shutters are in the way! Also I have no idea why those are even there?
