Awesome thanks!

Hey this might take a few days we just started a 2-3 day rain ordeal. I can tell you the reason I installed it with the fog lights is that the particular set of fog lights and mount bracket I bought don't let the lights rotate around enough to point straight forward. They are always pointed out to the side leaving directly in front of my truck only being covered by headlights.

Can you compare the output of this bar to the fog lights? I was thinking about doing the fogs but the bar seems like it may put out just as much if not more light than the fogs. What do you think?

Hey sorry for the delay on picts but I did order some OffRoadAlliance 3 cube fog lights mounts and finally got them installed today. It really wasn't a fair interpretation of the lights with the mounts they were shipped with. Unless you buy lights from Off Road Alliance be sure and pick up their 3 fog light mount brackets to use with your own lights. I'll show you the difference between headlights and fog/grill bar combo. I was by myself so I couldn't block off the grill light to show you the fogs by themselves. I have them all wired together for now. The headlight only pictures are the ones with the cutoff directly in front of the truck. Just to be clear this is the difference between headlights only and Hidden Grill/Fog Light combo.

Now I'll show you the difference between the fog light mounts. Look how much more adjustability there is between brand X mounts and Off Road Alliance mounts. Should have done these in the first place.

Looks great!

How much space is there between the grille and the front of the light bar?

I'm curious if it could be pushed forward more? It looks like it's at the limit of the included mount, but wonder if it could be moved further forward with modification to avoid cutting grille shutters, or if it would just hit the grille itself in that case?

I don't know if it was just mine but the curve of the light didn't quite match the curve of the grill. So while it was touching in the middle it was still a little way aways on the sides. That's what made the trimming needed. But don't get me wrong, it didn't quite fit 100% but it was 95. Absolutely no reason to complain or think twice.
