Default Cheap light bar install
For those who want to install the under grill light bar like the F150LED on a budget. Purchased a 42" light bar from Amazon for only $79. Made the brackets from aluminum bought from Lowes.

Here is what it looks like with the grill down. If I had the C-type grill I believe more light would pass beyond the bars.

Any chance you have nighttime pictures? I have been wanting to do this but don't want to waste the money if the output isn't good.

As you can see in the pic, the light output isn't as bright but still worth doing IMO.
