Light bar mounted in grill


30" light bar fits perfectly between the grill supports on a '13 SCREW. Lights up the night.

that looks like it was made to fit there!

Pics at night with it on and off???

Did you have to cut the grill or is it on top of the grill?

If you look closely, it looks like he cut out the grill to fit the bar in there.

Yes, I used a dremel and took out the top part so it would fit

I installed a 42" behind the grill. Very easy install.

It will provide much better light once I get a Raptor (or Raptoid) grill installed.

You can clearly see the trailer in the first pic at the end of the alley, the second pic has so much for-ground light it washes out the trailer and you can barely see it.

I believe that's the camera. I can see great with it in actuality. It's even better with the light bar and headlights going together. This pic was just to show the amount of light the bar throws

You can clearly see the headlights project the light where you need it, the light bar OTOH just throws out light everywhere, blinding the birds in the trees.
