Opinion wanted on LED placement
Looking for some opinions. I had a set of LED's mounted behind the grill, but I have been toying with the idea of mounting them in the grill. Obviously the output will be greater with the lights mounted further out.
Also I have been thinking about mounting this LED bar to my Back rack. I was thinking these 2 options. The first one does block some of my view from the mirror, but not that bad.
The other photo has the light below the top bar because I do haul a kayak when we go camping, so if I ever do have to use the ladder rack it won't interfere.
Thoughts, or opinions

My thoughts:
Front: I do like them higher up... but behind the grill. I would have to see the performance difference before I'd suggest in front of the grill.
Back: While I think it blends a bit better in the lower position... you clearly lose visibility out the rear glass. I think the higher position would be best.

use a bracket and have the back level or lower then the top bar. agree on the front outside of the grill. it looks nice.

I have seen tons of people doing the behind the grill, but none like this on the outside. I did a quick check last night in my driveway, it was pretty good but I couldn't tell would it would look line on the road (kids sleeping and couldn't leave)
I like the lever idea. I will have to ponder it a bit.... Thanks.

I decided I liked them outside the grill.
I had to clearance the grill to make it fit. I broke the drivers side, but the passenger came out fine.
This is just the Rigids. I have since adjusted them lower and out to pick up the ditches.
Rigids and high beams.
