I picked up the 30" version of the dual color light bar from the ebay link. Installed it a couple days ago. It works great. It's brighter than my last ebay 30" bar, but not as bright/focused as my 40" TMX Blackhawk bar (as expected). The amber is great, really throws good amber light, not just a yellowish weak color, it's full on amber illumination. The remote works well with it too. There's 4 buttons, A turns on amber, B turns on white, C turns it off, D turns on strobe, and you can keep hitting D to cycle thru several strobe modes. There isn't an alternating amber/white strobe color though, just different flash rates of amber or white. And whatever it's on last, it stays on that when you hit the upfitter switch. Fitment is a little tight between the grille braces, but it's good because it keeps it from wanting to rotate. My old 30" was on the smaller side and I had rubber inserts to make up the gap and it would like to rotate over time. Only thing I had to tweak was add a couple washers under the bolt heads on either side.

I'd definitely recommend this bar for guys wanting a dual color one.

Installed mine yesterday. Thanks for the link OP!

While it is nowhere near as bright as my 24" china bar in the lower grille, it does throw good light, and the amber is the correct color. The flashing modes are as described, and the remote works well. I installed mine on the factory holes, having to pry it in a bit. Fit fine, however the ford emblem would prevent the light from shining below the high beam level. I drilled holes 1.25" higher and now the fitment is perfect. I will try to post some vids and pics.

nice you should post some pictures of the set up...they do have alternative white amber strobe in 30 inch...they are currently out of stock but they are a bit more pricey around 300 bucks

What kind of bracket did you use for being that high on the grille?

No. It's pretty tight with a 30"

Well, @tomahawk did it with a 32inch and f150 LEDs did it with a 32inch. I'll take some measurements tomorrow. It is pretty tight from what I saw in the videos

just got my 32 inch lightbar installed with white/amber and strobe and I gotta say I am impressed with how bright it is for being behind the grille, no bracket required just bolted it to the lower holes

I guess a 32 inch did work
