    All good!

    I actually run the lights behind the grill during the day as additional "DRL" lights. People in Arizona don't use blinkers and tend to NOT look over in their mirrors/shoulders before changing lanes.

    By any chance do you have pictures of the “extensions” to get these lights aligned with the slot in your honeycomb grill? I have the same grill and am interested in installing these . Thanks

    I didn't have to use any wire extensions as I'm using an BezosMart switch panel controller. I have the installation pictures on an old phone, but here is the finished installation of the switch panel.

    Looks great, I have a switch pro that I would hook them up to, however, I was thinking that the brackets included with the lights wouldn’t be high enough to be level with the slot in our honeycomb grill. Did you have to modify anything or just install the lights with the included hardware?

    Damn, misunderstood your question.

    As you know, the black "v" shaped brackets that came with the light bar kit are a little short.

    I straightened the 90° brackets for the DD bars and had to measure a bajillion times to get the light bars to peep through the grill opening.

    The straightened brackets are silver in the attached picture.

    Also, the small 10MM nuts that you will need to remove on the outer side brackets WILL fall through the bumper area. Be mindful of that, your you will be kicking yourself for dropping it on the floor and not being able to find it.

    I will buy if they are installed. Otherwise... If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    I have taken the front bumper off one too many times.

    Well there’s your problem… why are you taking off the bumper for grille lights? :boink:

    Unlike you, I have man hands and man forearms. They don't fit between the grill and radiator for me to work on the install.
