[QUOTE="tractorman, post: 1527688, member: 39658"] I just installed my lightbar last night. Bought it from Nick at Apollo Optics. Good price, good communication, quick shipping. Isn't that what we all want? Kudos to Nick. I will say the instructions lack detail. But with the information above it was easy. It is a little stressful pulling the headlight surrounds off for fear of busting something, but that went great. A couple of minutes later the grill was on the bench. It is that easy with the instructions above. I installed the brackets and light, then bolted the inner grill back in with 2 top bolts and 2 bottom bolts, then put a bubble level on it and made the face plumb. I then took it outside in the dark and couldn't figure out if I wanted it up a little or down a little...so I suppose that means it was just right. I took out the 4 bolts, put the grill together, and partially installed it. Here is where I had a small problem. I was admiring my work when I noticed that the lightbar was slightly askew with the outer grill. What I figure out is the bolt holes in the outer grill have enough space to allow you to bolt the halves together just slightly "twisted". So I pulled the grill assembly out, loosened the bolts, and got it nice and straight. Then I examined how everything lined up (this time!) before I set the grill back in the hole. I wired this to the #1 aux switch. I have the ground triggered by the high beam signal through a relay (that controls the ground only). Did this with my pocket lights also, except for the DOT fogs. This allows me to kick off my high beams and shut down all the big lights quickly. [/QUOTE]
