LED bar behind grill

[BK76]

This is it lit up behind the grill. Light shines through with no issues. More than enough to light up whatever you need.

Love this. Had considered the bull bar, but didn't want to add that like I did to my Ram. This is much cleaner and still functional.

Great idea. Would love to see some photos of the interior switch hook up

I am considering putting a 32" behind my Denali grill, any idea if it would still look decent? Where are yall finding your brackets? Would a 40" be too wide?

I'm Looking at a 36" bar soon.

Here are mounted pictures of mine, it's a 32" flat two row unit. I put a small lighted switch next to the 4x4 knob on the dash. I wired it separate from the high beams so I can leave it on if I'm working on something in front of the truck. The mounts came with the light and I bought the same company's (NiLight) wiring kit and made some changes to make it work for me.




It lights up great, no issues with it being behind the mesh of the grille. I'll try to take some night shots of the beam pattern and the Hella rocker switch and post up.

Here is the switch, I lined it up centered with the headlight and 4x4 knobs. I hate aftermarket switches, this was the smallest and most subtle I could find.


Here is a close up of the bar lit up, I made sure and marked the mounting area before removed the grill so it shines out of the right area. the opening is right at 32" wide.


Here why I installed the bar, it's dark 18+ hours a day in the winter here...

I have pondered this idea. Although I was thinking of using the factory fog light wiring. Does anyone know if the wiring/relay system would be heavy enough for such a lightbar? Pro's and Con's of using this set up?
