MOUNTING LED SPOTLIGHT BAR

Post by Alex2539 »

Hi there

Hi Alex. Generally the higher you mount it the better light coverage you will have. Also it would be less prone to be damaged tan if it were mounted low down under the nudge bar.

Personally I would try position it at a similar level to the standard headlights.

I mounted the bar behind the bumper and lower grill so its nice and protected, the grill does not affect lighting.

This is what I have done to SWAMBO'S Hilux.

Used two L shaped brackets that I have mounted onto the slam track behind the bumper.

Also speak to the guys at CYMOT.

They may (should) have some photos of installations and options ....
