LED bar behind grill

[Doubeleive]

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?

I had (2) 8' on my 2000 Yukon in place of the factory fogs and it ran off the stock system just fine, but if you think a bigger bar might be to much for it then you can still use the factory switch and just run a relay very easy to do and it takes the stress off the factory system, the relay just makes the factory button a on/off control.

Thinking of doing this and using an on-off-on switch so I can select between On, Off, and On with High Beams. Only issue I'm having is figuring out where I can tap a signal wire from the high beams circuit. Anybody know?

I know I could do an add a fuse to the high beam fuse in the engine fuse panel but I'm not sure if that's the best idea.

I shoved a 42” behind my grill, clears headlights by 1/4”. I put my switches up where the garage door opener unit is, well between it and the lights will post pic in 30 seconds

I just bought a 40" curved and put it on my Civic as a trial run. Will be installing it behind the grill of my Yukon soon. First pic is headlights only, second pic is light bar only.

Your Civic is running green headlights?

No, HIDs just turned them on plus windshield is 40% tint

Just installed a 32 inch bar behind the grill. Love the way it looks and it is very bright. I got the Opt7 C2 bar . It is aimed a little high but I will adjust it down.

Can you post any pictures of how you connected to battery and when it’s grounded? Thanks

How long did the install take? I am going to try to install two 40" light bars behind my grill next week. Hoping there is room.

Would a 40" not work?
