Front Grill LED

So, I struggled with the decision on mounting "grill LED" and talked with ZROADZ about their ideas, see below




Unfortunately, even thought the fit and finish seems nice, by blocking the air intake for the radiator and the additional cooler on the drivers side is no in my opinion in any climate a good idea, so I embarked on a solution,




































So, these are Hella as below,





and so I submit my alternative solution as above,

Think you could take some night pics of all your lights on? Are you gonna put a light bar on your roof too?

I think you blocked more air flow doing what you did versus the original grill idea.

I bought the zroadz light but unfortunately I don't get my truck for another 43 days. Had to pick them up though while I was able to get $45 bucks off of them.

windtunnel smoke test

As per my original assertion, I have a better air flow vs the zroadz inserts, I am respectfully not able to display the actual tests, however I will comment that the grill inserts absolutely block air intake, that is understandably the only comparison I was making, and yes, my LED bumper mounted LED lights do interfere with airflow, yet the difference is minimal compared to the grill inserts by zroadz.

I'm an LED fan, but for some strange reason I just want the clean no dangles OEM LED look. I'm sure however your lumens are off the scale!

We still need action shots

I have never put any additional lighting on the from of my truck so I am likely not the best to comment. The clean look is sharp.

I thought tree grill was pretty sweet.
