I see. Thanks for the heads up. Looking at yours, I'd like to have mine more forward set. So it looks like I'll have to drill two new holes. I wonder if I can make it work without having to cut away the plastic pieces? I kind of doubt it based on the depth of the lightbar and how shallow the plastic pieces are.

With your yellow bar set so low it must make for a great fog light. Do you know if it's legal to have that bar all the time like regular fog lights or is like a normal lightbar where you can't have it on on paved roads? If it's legal just like regular fogs, I might do something like this for a future setup (use a 30" yellow bar for fogs rather than standard fog lights). I imagine it helps way better than just the two fog pods.
I cannot speak to legality. I’m sure it’s different from state to state. I do believe these are advertised as legal on their website

Not just off road. In six-inch size, when installed as a pair and aimed in accordance with your state's regulations, the Driving pattern meets SAE J581 as a Driving/Auxiliary High Beam Light, and the Wide pattern meets SAE J583 as a Foglamp, for legal on-road use. Please check your local laws and regulations for aiming, installation, and applicability.”

To the question of fitment, based on the depth of the light bar, I wasn’t able to mount at any closer to the plastic grill without fear of heat affecting that plastic. If you do end up cutting that out, you might be able to make that work.

Cheers!

I was actually thinking about putting it full blown in front of the plastic grille. But the bar has 3 inch depth so it might stick it out too far unless I cut the plastic.


I can't tell if the plastic is cut here or not but this is a perfect example of how I'd like the placement. But rather than bolt the arms below it, it looks like they somehow bolted them on to the sides.
