Lightbulb Grill-Mounted Light Bar

Thinking about a grill-mounted flood/spotlight bar for the front of my truck. Anyone else try it?

I mounted a 32 behind my billet grill and it works and is bright as fudge!

I made my own mounts but I'll post some pictures but my phone won't let me post more than one per reply

But I cute up a mower blade which was a pain in the but and then drilled two holes in it on each side and then placed the light bar in there but then it was to low bottom row was hitting the the grill surround on the bottom and was only shinning the top row of LED's out so I went ahead and cut out a weak oval tub drilled through the middle of that and put a washer in it so it wouldn't collapse and put the lightbar on that. And it's in the right place right now! And those hood bumps are in the right place for the mounts on the lightbar. That's how I placed the brackets I made in because they aligned perfect with the mounts.

The bar first within an inch between the yellow hood latch and just within a thousands of a inch doesn't run the bar in the back but I had to offset the bare because of the latch and the beam.

You should also check out this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f83/dual-3...297757/index2/

I started you on page 2 because the pictures on page 1 are dead.
