Lightbar Behind Grill?

[Specialtyperformanceparts]

I’ll start by apologizing - I know I ask a lot of light questions!

Anyway, I know that you lose some output with the bar behind the grill, but I think it looks cool (plus I have A-Pillar lights and maybe a light bar on the bumper planned). I thought I saw somewhere (can’t find it now, I searched) that a behind the grill light bar interferes with the active shutters. Can somebody confirm or deny said rumor?

Here is the demo video on our new SRL 20" Behind the Grille Light bar.

NOT that there’s anything wrong with outfitting a riding mower or tractor with extra lighting... Just sayin’

Thread Update - More Exterior Illumination added to the truck today.
Switch #1 runs the Rough Country Lights in the bumper (those lights were installed in July)
Switch #2 runs the Rough Country 12” Cree LED Light Bar (Dual Row) in the middle of the bumper
Switch #3 runs the Rough Country 30” LED Hidden Grill Light Bar

Looks good. How's the output?

I’m hoping to get some pics this weekend. I haven’t had a chance to use them yet.

Looking at 12k lumens for the rough country vs 19k+ for the BD’s...but then again, there’s quite a price disparity. However, I’d still be going with BD or Rigid. They simply make superior quality lights.

Any type of behind the grill mounting solutions for those who have an aftermarket intercooler?

Notice any difference in your IC temps??? Considering a light bar there or swapping out one set of Squadron Sport's for Squadron Pro's but am not sure if it will be worth the cost vs an additional light bar.
