Post your pictures of “behind the grille” lightbars

[Karzir]

Mine is an Opt7 I think.


Where did you get your brackets if I might ask?

I got mine from [MENTION=133346]BradBrad619[/MENTION] right here on the forum. They are great and made the install really easy. I did get help for running the electric to the ARB switch in the dash because that's not my forte and I didn't want to fry the electronics on my new truck. But the actual mounting I did myself and it was easy with those brackets.

I'll play..................

Baja Designs Stealth 30" driving/wide combo & OnX6 20" spot, wired to a single switch (all time power) AND wired into high beam circuit. Not to mention high & low beam upgrades, Morimoto D2S 4.0 HID with shield mod, V-LED high beams

Go ahead don't turn off your high beams, I triple dog dare ya :lasercannon:

barryhiram, how did you approach the DRL issue with your high beam activation? I ended up deleting the DRL function as shown in another thread here.

Any chance you could post pictures of how you mounted it? Also looking to add an S8 20" in the same spot. Thanks in advance.

I don't have any pictures but if you go to [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION]'s thread, he has a great write up on it which is what I followed to do mine.

Any body using KCs/PIAA lights ? Been trying to Google some 5th Gen with KCs/PIAAs but it doesnt seem too common ...

SSO would not build me exactly what I was wanted, since they don't sell the winch I wanted to use and I wanted to keep my 32" LED light bar. I told them not to worry and I would do it myself, since they could not guarantee fitment. My solution was to get the SSO front end, attach my winch and simply measure. Then I had some custom brackets made that raised the light over my Super winch and bingo! Hidden Winch and 32" light bar with SSO front end!

mogmanbrad, 2010-13's DRL circuit is independent of high beams unlike '14 to current models so no mod was required. For a trigger I simply connected a wire from the high beam harness at headlight and ran it to the trigger terminal of relay. I did add a diode to prevent back feeding (thread in my sig covers it).

+1 for Rago hidden LED mount. All in one kit and easy to install. Just installed this past weekend so haven’t had a chance to get cool pics like 007Tacoma... yet

Thanks, i guess should have noticed the year difference. I added the same diode, but also added a second to prevent illumination of the Dash switch on highbeam. Now the switch only lights when turned on manually. I also added a remote switch under hood so that I can defeat the added lights on highbeam

so im looking at doing this to my 17 4nr and was wondering what the difference in light output is with it behind the grill vs in-front or flush mounted. looks sleek behind the grill

Thank you kindly. I will be contacting Brad about this shortly. Cheers
