Lights behind grill

17silverado2248 · March 2, 2017

you'll get a CEL and who knows what else I'm sure if you try to remove the shudders

So I'm basically SOL if I try and put a lightbar in?

I have a 17 Silverado and have so far came up with the same conclusion.... I am hoping there is someone with a 17 that has figured out a work-around.

The only way to fit the light bar behind the grill is going to be to delete and remove the active shutters. I think that it is possible, we just need someone with some skills that's willing to put in some trial and error.

Here's a video of a guy doing just that on a RAM pickup. He shows how to delete the shutters and trick the computer into thinking everything thing is working as normal. NO CEL!!!

It's probably very similar on a Silverado, again we just need someone with some skills to figure it out out. See the attached video, we got this!!

I am planning on mounting a light bar behind my grill and had several questions. First of all Will it cause any cooling issues, From what I have read it will not but I just wanted to make sure no one here had had issues. Second, I was planning on running the main positive lead directly to the battery and the all the ground leads to a body ground but I am unsure where to connect the relay switch to power, where is a good location either in the engine bay or in the cab. The light bar is a 32" Auxbeam V series

Love the stealth mount setups so much more than the external brackets

You need some nicer buttstocks. Look at magpul CTR. Great quality for the price

1. No cooling issues. I'm in SC and it gets hot and humid over the summers. No issues here. Guys in TX say the same thing.

2. I powered mine off the battery, but there are 2 relays between. I've connected to a 3-way switch that allows on, off, or on with high beams.

3. Grounding to the body is fine.

4. I grabbed ignition power from the fuse panel on the driver's side of the dash and added an in-line fuse holder.

Just finished installing my light bar, it turned out really well. I spent a lot of time trying to make the wiring very clean. The only problem I had was that when I removed the trim under the grill I had one locking tab break off on each side, the tab that broke is right next to the fender and the bolts hold it in place. I was curious if anyone else had that happen to them.

The light bar is a Auxbeam V series RGB lightbar. I can control the RGB functions with my phone but the red button allows me to change the color without my phone.
