Can you cut that section out? It doesn't have to be perfectly sized, it will still put out plenty of light. Or get the single row lightbar

looks good, Any problem with light out ?? 30" light bar only , or the 30" light bar with brackets (radiator straps) ????

Thank you!! haven't gotten to use it at night yet...It came with all the necessary hardware/brackets. Only problem I had was the grille didn't fit on when I mounted the light bar where the instructions said to. I had to move it down to the last hole on the mount and everything fits perfectly!

Sanded down the thickness of the fiber washer. It was too thick to fit flush in the 12v power outlet hole and prevented the little cover flap from folding back down nicely. Sanded off a few mm and it sits nice and flush now.

I was referring to the little plastic piece with the flap on it that sits in the console and hides the 12v power outlet from view.

One more question for you concerning the new push button switch...how did you wire the new 5-pin button switch to replace the old switch (3 pin) that is connected to 3 wires (1 blue, 1 red, and 1 black).

Hello all, I've been lurking around the forum for a month or so and thought I'd take a moment to post this video on mounting a 32" light bar behind the grill on my 2014 Sierra. I'll be posting part 2 on YouTube later this week.

So anybody who has done this. Can you send me a picture of where you grabbed power for the light bar?? I had mine all hooked up and a wire ran to my high beam to signal the light bar to come on. And last night the damn thing was flickering on when I clearly had all switches in the off position. So I'm getting feedback power from somewhere. So I pulled over on the side of the interstate and initially thought it was getting feedback from the wire ran from the high beam to the switch. So I cut that wire and it continued to flicker. So I feel confident it is not the problem. I ended up pulling the inline fuse and that obviously cut all power. Any suggestions?

My guess would be a weak relay. They like to bounce with vibrations.

Haven't went off roading or anything...Don't plan on doing it with my truck. The light is super bright, I'm super happy with it. I'm happy with everything but the crappy push switch it came with!

Depending on the amount of snow but i would think turning a light bar on in snow wouldnt be much help ... seems like it would be a lot of white

I don't have a light bar but I have 4 Rigid lights behind my grill that would give a similar effect. When it was snowing it definitely was a lot of white, but in the end, I was better off with them without as it shot a ton of light ahead of me. Now if it was foggy, it would have been stupid haha. But that's why I have Rigid fog lights
