Hidden light bar or fog light mounting options - post face lift GX (1 Viewer)

[Qball]

Hey gang

Has anyone installed/mounted hidden led light bar or fog lights begind the “honey comb” grill area on post face lift GX?

Thanks in advance

I would be curious to find out that as well. I just purchased a bunch of Baha Designs lighting for my SSO rack (still waiting to get the rack) and was thinking about their new Laser/LED hybrid down in that area.

Anyone has a hi Rez picture of that area without the bumper cover?

Below is a photo with the front bumper cover removed. The only guy I know who has placed a light bar down there is this guy:
He has since installed an ARB front bumper.

After some thinking and poking around think I’ll go for the cheapy license place mounting bar some here have some and use a small 9 inch Amber/white combo light bar. See how it goes.

There doesn’t seem to be anything structure near the brill so gonna go cheap route for now till I find better solution.

I Used these and did mine behind the grille. I have an F Sport Grille on my 2013 though...

I got the kit at HID Pros here

I added a light bar behind the oem grill, mostly for looks, not really functional but looks cool haha

Baja Fog lights

So I added this Baja Designs universal front plate light mount. I added some Baja Designs Squadron Sports as well on the mount for fog light duties.

I was looking at using that same location for a light bar, how did you put that hole there?

Do you have a pic you can share of how you installed your led light bar with those brackets you linked? Looks really nice.

Also, what size are the two led light bars you are using behind your grill?

I tried to attach some photos but it’s all from my phone. Let me know if it doesn’t work. Sorry. I had to pull the cover off.

Oh I have 2 Rigid industries single row 20 inch bars back there. I’m 99% sure two double row bars would fit (

Also, what size are the two led light bars you are using behind your grill?

the bracket is designed for them) but I only had single row laying around.
Also make sure you keep that plastic piece under the hood. It forces air through the radiator. The light bars cut down on air flow but I haven’t noticed any issues.

Thanks for the pics and details. Yours really looks nice, also your grill allows more light out. Does that grill fit on a 2018?

Oh I would love to do two light bars with double row behind my grill.

No the grill is for pre face lift only (10-13). I think you could space them right so the bars focus through the slats on the 2018.

What are y'all using for switches? I want something that fits in one of the blanks to the left of the steering wheel, but I can't find anything that size. I bought one of these but it's too tall and skinny.
