I was thinking of doing the same thing to mine but opted not to cut the bumper. Instead put some 2x 27w round LEDs behind the grill which hides them and works great.

Thanks for sharing though! It does look better than I expected!

And a relay takes very little power to trigger, which is the whole point of a relay. Little amps turn big amps on. Your fog lights probably draw more power than that LED, which are on separate circuits... so not sure why you can't use both at the same time.....

I did the same mod a few weeks ago, but used a 30" curved bar. It filled the gap perfectly. I made brackets out of 1 1/4" angle bolted to the frame. Zero wobble.

Exactly how would you calculate what size fuse you need for a led bar ?

Here's a pic of mine. Also Cree led, but the bar made by extreme led solutions at miamioffroad4wd.com

Front 41.5


And the rear one 21.5"


They gave me 20% off, free harness, and one free rocker switch.

The light bar is 120w, and the Fogs are 55w ea (110w in total), so each draw about 10A. I'm more concerned about the amperes created at idle than anything else. It's the engineer in me that wants to protect the system on the whole, regardless of whether or not its at idle or on the same circuit. I always create something that works at the bare minimum, and is "user error" proof, so it functions there and above without causing damage to anything else.

So, yes I could have both on at the same time, just not at idle. However, this thing drowns out my headlights and fogs so it doesn't really matter.

It's the fuse that comes with the harness, but its easy to calculate. Power (measure in Watts) is equal to the current times the voltage. Since you know the power and the voltage (12V in most cars), you can determine the current draw, and then put a fuse in that's the closest to that current. So, since the bar draws roughly 10A, a 15A Fuse should be used.

Wow i love that idea of putting the bar in the bumper. I have been thinking about buying one for my roof rack, but i like this better. I see Sierra's and F-150's with them in the front bumper all the time but it never registered to put one there in my 4runner.... haha

Very nice! I really like how it kinda curves with the bumper.

I was going to put it behind the grille, but it blocks some of (not all of) the light output, so then I was going to wait to do the satoshi grille, but then I got impatient and settled for the bumper lol.


I just thought of a great idea, replace he stock Hellas with LEDs! The wiring is already there, so are the mounts! I'll post here when I get it done.

Please do. I've wanted to replace my Hellas for a while but haven't had the chance. I'm interested to know which once will fit the best and if they mount up easily.

just a heads up, it may not be for quite sometime (i.e. March). I'm stuck at school with no tools haha. I'll definitely keep you posted!
