Stealth LED Bar Installed
So here it is. Took me a few hours cause I was messing around with some stuff, but here is the stealthed LED Bar on my 4th gen.
As I said in my previous post, I went with the brackets from [MENTION=93512]MojaveMadMan[/MENTION] and a 32" OPT7 bar + wiring harness.
As for the install, it was relatively easy. The brackets are very very solid and I am extremely happy with them. I will admit, it does take some shimmy-ing though. I had to push the brackets out with a bit of force in order to get the light bar to go in. But in the end it was a very snug fit and that actually gives me more piece of mind. I don't want this thing bouncing around a ton. The brackets were relatively easy to install and I tightened them down as hard as I could when everything was installed. Going to check them and the light bar for the next few days of driving to double check and make sure everything is fine and still snug. The bar sits essentially right on the inside of the bumper, and it feels solid as all hell when everything is nicely torqued down. Very happy with light output, even behind the lower valence.
As for the light bar, it came with the right bolts, but they were just a hair too long, so the bar had too much play. Easy for adjusting, bad for driving. So I went to the hardware store and got a washer and a lock washer for both sides to fill the space and hopefully keep the bar in place. Ended up working perfectly in terms of positioning and tightening. Again, going to keep an eye on it and check it over the next few days of driving.
In case anyone is curious, the OPT7 wiring harness is very well done. The switch provided is pretty shitty, but I had my one ConturaV switch I was going to use anyway. The harness is solid, well wrapped, and comes with plenty of length (and by plenty I mean way to much lol). My only gripe was that the wires for the + and - were a bit too short and the ring terminal things were wayyyyyy to big. Ended up cutting them off, extending the wiring, and putting my own smaller terminals on.
Overall I am very pleased with everything and I am looking forward to some inclement weather! For now, enjoy some of the pictures from the install! And if you have any questions, please, ask away!
After the install, unlit.
Light bar on.
The wiring was kind of confusing, so if anyone needs a reference pic, here is one. Maybe I'm just dumb. :brick:
Bit of a side shot of the bar lit. (Headlights are also on)
Front shot with all of the lights on.
Low beams.
Lows + Highs.
Lows + Highs + Bar.
Hope you all enjoyed! :bounce:

I am looking for bolt on sliders with a top tred plate. I have looked all over the place and I am currently in the process of doing more research, but does anyone have any brands that I should definitely put at the top of my list or definitely avoid? Thanks!
