Light bar done

So I just finished installing the front light bar. Once I found where the Aux stubbed ends were located for the Upfitter switches, it was a breeze (kinda). I grounded to the common ground and power was a snap. Now I have this down to a science and won't be a problem upgraded other accessories in the future.

N-Fab F1730LD Light Bar w/Multi-Mount For LED Lights $149.00 (Amazon)
Nilight 25" 162W Led Light Bar Flood Spot Combo Waterproof Driving Lights $32.00 (Amazon)


Common ground for the aux box on the driver's side firewall

Looks great! Can you do another pic off to the side a bit to provide a sense of depth?

Low profile 25" is all I needed for this application. The Nfab does have more connection area for expansion with cubes or even a longer light bar.

i ran the wires through the tow hook upper slot and then straight to the corner by the batter and along the firewall.

If you think about it and get a chance, can you snap a few pics at night from the driver's seat / perspective -- that show with it on/off (with all other lights on)? Thanks.

Do you have upfitter switches? if so, did you tie the light bar into them?

Same here.

Got the N-fab mount for $119

Got the 32" Nilight for $41

Waiting for them to arrive and then figuring out how to wire it with the upfitter switches like you guys.

Looking on their site it appears there's a bracket welded almost the length of the bar at the back so you could actually put a set of smaller light bars?

I'm debating the bar shown in this thread or their other bar they show with 4 round lights. It appears the bar designed for the light bar would be able to handle the round lights too?
