I have the bajadesigns 20 inch led bar. It don’t come with the mounts. For $20.00 I bought my mounts at SHoffroad. They have the instructions on there site how to mount the 20 inch bar. A 30 inch bar will not fit behind the upper Pro grille. I thought about the 2 ten inch lights. Make more sense for the 20’inch.

yes, it will bolt directly to some predrilled holes that are holding your upper grill to your lower grill assembly. depending on the manufacture, you might have to reverse the brackets.

I think people have also put up to 30 inch light bars up there, but had to drill holes.

This is what I am currently running. You don't need to buy this exact one, you just need to know what dimensions are required. Also, in the pictures, you can see the small low profile bracket that it comes with. You need to make sure your light bar comes with a low profile bracket.

6th picture down you can see my light bar just peeking out of the upper grill:

I want to do something like this on the upper part of the grill with dual LEDs instead of running raptor lights. The guy who's running this setup bought his on Amazon and it came with the mounting hardware plus extensions.

yeah any 20 inch light bar will work as long as it comes with low profile mounts. You might have to run to home depot for some fasteners but it doesnt get easier than a 20 inch light bar.


I thought about upgrading to a knock off baja design light like the one in that IG picture, but im happy with my chinesium made light, and am to lazy to redo the wiring. I hate electrical with a a passion...i'm not a sparky.

Will only single row light bars fit on upper grill?

Dual rows will be too big ?

You have 2 options that I know of if you have a Pro. Bajadesigns has the 2 10 led bars that behind the grille or the 20 inch which I have. I did not do the install yet.

Well, only a single row if u dont want to mod anything.

A dual will fit, if you have a dremel and a drill.

I have 2 Cali bars behind the grill and I wondered the same thing....how much light is lost and how to clean them. Truly, the light is incredible, even with whatever % is lost!

While the bars have not gotten mud caked, I have yet to have a problem with dirt. I also believe that if you take off the top dust cover, you can squeak your hand down to clean them.

Glad you said something as I didn’t realize the Pro was different than other models. Usually only see notations that the limited is different.

So I did nighthawk low beams. 9011 high beams. And SS3 pro fogs. I’m not mechanical at all and the fogs were a bit of pain in ass, right side especially. Hope they’re somewhat aimed half descent as it will be challenging to aim them now that I got them in there. Was in a hurry so didn’t put the Fog splash guard thingie back on right side As I couldn’t get it to snap back in place.

Also got mounts from SDHQ for top grill 20” light bar. Got cheap Pro Comp single row 20” as it was on sale and lifetime warranty. But didn’t have time to install because fogs took me much longer than planned. And the little clips holding that splash guard above grill, half those plastic clips Broke and don’t hold ugh. Gonna have to get some of those. Hahaha. All rookie errors.
