Ok who is using what? I have a Lariat with BAP in production and I'm thinking about doing the matching grill bars but there quite a few companies doing them.
All of these are all over the place on price.......I'm curious what you are using and your thoughts. Plus do some of these even put out a lot of extra light? I had 4 10" ZroadZ on my 17 and they were bright as hell which was great for my late night trips.
The erskineperformance ones are interesting. I think they would look good on my 2022 XLT with OEM LED headlights swapped in. The color match looks good too.
Definitely a no buy for me right now though. There is no pictures of the actual product, no installed pictures of the product with the lights off, nor is there any detail about the product. For $600 I'd expect milled aluminum housings with oem style diffusers for a seemless look.

Agree. Now that I think of it I'll have to go back but someone had pics on FB of one of these and I wasn't super impressed bc they were on the BAP grill and were completely white and super visible.
Here are the ones I put in on my BAP Lariat. I added the yellow tint to the bottom one. These are actual stupid bright light bars, not just an appearance LED strip.
Also a FYI, that rough country 30'' bar won't fit without removing most of the plastic support for the grille. The only ones that will fit without trimming away that black plastic grille support are these from amazon, as they are shallow enough in depth.

Thanks for the pics - to confirm, that's the 32" length in that Amazon link?
Did you use the mounting brackets that came with the light bar? It looks like you did, and just bent the bracket to fit onto the radiator support (and flipped the bracket). I really like how that fits.
Awesome install. Thank you for the pics and link! I was hoping for a bit more subtle but this is on my list now.

Yes it's the 32'' bar. I used the included bracket inverted on the bottom mount and the upper I used a mount from a different light bar I had and didn't use. That said, You could get the included one to work, just might need to add a longer bolt and spacer to increase the length so it can reach the plastic support it bolts to.
Did you have to do the curved or would the straight work? do you have a pic of the grill back on looking at the lights form above, like the space in front and behind? I just found out the Rough Country has DRL which may look neat if I can make it work right. they seem to be about 1" deeper than the amazon ones. The few reviews on amazon with low stars about rust and fog kinda worry me.
