[QUOTE="Sitdown, post: 1076503, member: 8674"] There is quite a bit of loss behind grill, atleast there was on Gen1. The best solution I found is to use a bar with a single row of 10W LED's, in spottiest fashion you can get. Then align in the gaps above or below the FORD grill. Using a knockoff bar here isnt a terrible idea since your only capturing a portion of the bars capability, so a waste IMO to put a $1k+ bar there. I've been trying to get new owners to make that measurement, but still TBD If you remove the shutters, figure similar widths potential as Gen1 To retain the shutters you will need to get it more flush to grill, so would need to fit between the vertical grill braces. In a 2015-2016 std f150 grill, that space is ~20" or so, hopefully our bracing is different (wider). If your bar is deeper in width, might need to do curved to get more flush to the grill. Ideally to achieve this.. [ATTACH=full]262996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]262997[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]262998[/ATTACH] The std f150 opening is taller so the dual row bar works, but ours will be thinner so single row is prob more ideal.
