    It’s eXpensive... but if you’re doing mods it’s almost a must. Especially if you grew up watching Night Rider!!

    I also have this on my 17 PRO. Purchased it back in 12/2017. Unfortunately a year later it started to show condensation. I tried reaching out to TORC auto back then with no luck. I emailed and called with 0 contact. a week ago the center lighting of the bar went out (most likely caused by the moisture inside) and was finally able to get in contact with NSV. Currently going through warranty process. It should be going through Torc but it seems as they have dropped the ball on this. Non the less I love the bar and the look it provides. I get tons of thumbs up and questions on it all the time.

    Hey Omizzy. I totally get it... the same thing happened with mine... condensation. I had a much different eXperience though. I bought mine through Headlight Revolution and their customer service was TOP NOTCH! It was still a pain to remove the lightbar and the light kit to ship it back to HL but it got done. HL dealt directly with NSV on my behalf and they actually sent me the brand new updated version. I was missing a few wires from the light kit so I was impressed and excited when I got a brand new light bar.

    This is why I will continue to buy most everything I can from HL. They are always quick to respond and their YouTube channel and install videos are 2nd to none.

    Team Tundra!

    Even though I never dealt with HR, I will say that when I was looking for NSV contact information I asked them through their IG and they were all up for helping me even though I did not purchase from them. I must admit I was shocked at their response. That alone is enough for me to buy from them next time I plan on buying something for the tundra

    I get a lot of looks with mine.
    Its funny when you shut the truck off and it goes full knight rider.

    I have used the off road light more than I thought with fishing in different areas and having to drive out of no moon light trils.

    It is more than enough light when I needed it

    I robbed someone off this site who was selling his for 600.00

    Hey Freedomoftim,
    This is the light bar I want for my truck but the description says..

    PLEASE NOTE: Due to a switch panel design change, this will NOT fit the 2020 Tundra!

    https://headlightrevolution.com/2014-2018-toyota-tundra-hood-grille-knight-rider-nsv-led-light-bar-kit-in-stock-ready-to-ship/


    What info can you provide regarding your install that would contradict this? I think this light is awesome and would love to have it on my truck but don’t want to spend the $$ if it won’t work/install as advertised. Thanks

    Interesting. I ordered that one for my 2018 originally and then had to ship it back so they could test the light kit a year or so later and Headlight Revolution worked with NSV and ended up sending me a brand new setup for my 2020.

    The only difference I noticed was the interior panel. They took the “strobe” switch off and labeled everything correctly.

    If it were me I would contact Headlight Revolution directly and ask them if they have the one for a 2020 Tundra. They must... they sent me one. Then I would call my installer if you really want to know how it worked from their perspective. His name is Chris @ AUTO F/X, their # 253.471.7736.

    Tell them I gave you their #. He’s a super awesome guy. Hope that helps. The light bar is amazing from a function and ecstatic point of view. Make it happen!

    From everyone I've talked to you cannot just but "the kit" that supports the light bar. If someone finds out something different please advise. I have a functioning light bar I want to sell but I don't have all the correct wiring. It would look AWESOME in the hood of someone's Tundra even if it didn't work!

    I have a used lightbar for sale... just don't have the entire kit... probably 90% tho. I could send pictures. Email me: freedomoftime@gmail.com

    hey freedomoftime, your truck is epic! thanks for sharing the info on the light bar, love it! I contacted HR about the 2020, and they are working on that solution for the switch panel, and should have it ready to release in a month. the switch panel on the 2020 is full already. I plan to circle back then so i can get one ordered for my 2020.

    So glad I found this forum and this thread. I just got a 2020 TRD Pro and was bummed to see this light bar wouldn't fit in the 2020. Glad to hear there is a solution in the works! Thanks for all the info here!

    I just saw that Headlight Revolution are running a 20% on their products for the B Friday this year if you spend over $250 , I have been waiting for a deal like this for a while , My question is if I am buying one of the NSV light bar will it fit my 2020 pro ?!? , did NSV or HR have a solution for the 2020 Tundra switch panel?

    I’ve not been informed that they’ve updated the switch panel yet. I’ve been waiting for this for a few months now and no word from them. Let me know if you find out different because I would like to get the same light bar.

    The current one will fit the 2020 Tundra without an issue, you would just need to drill out the NSV badge/logo on the switch panel to fit the Aux. port! Here's a photo for a better idea.

    The revised panel is still out for a couple months yet from what I've heard from NSV, fingers crossed for sooner!

    Jtorres , I just got the confirmation from HR , that it will fit the 2020, only thing is to drill out the NSV badge so you can dit the apple car play / usb slot

    Sorinrad thanks for the info and update. However for the price of this light, I don’t think that we should be modifying anything. It should be a direct fit with no extra mods.
