You won't have issues. The IC on the F150s is mounted on the bottom, so that bottom grill is where the air comes in for your IC. The S8 bar is slim enough that your upper fans will still have PLENTY of room to bring in air as well. We stock these and sell them all the time. Never had a single complaint (other then "hey I want to run 2 of these!")

Thanks.

Are the BD A pillar mounts tucked back next to the windshield/antenna like the SDHQ mounts? It’s hard to find a good picture of the BD mounts that gives me a precise location, but if can find lots of pictures of the SDHQ mounts and they are right where I want them.

Will look for some more pics, but here’s SDHQ next to the antenna.

Thanks Chris. I called BD and they told me their A pillar mounts won't work with the XL80s. Anyway, I have what I need.

I've searched around on this and haven't found much. I'm planning to install the BD 30" S8 behind the grille light bar kit on my Gen 2. I'd like to know whether anyone with this setup has noticed any impact on airflow to/cooling efficiency of the radiator. I live in Cali and will be spending some time in the desert. Thanks.

How much are these lights with the yellow covers?

We provide free amber covers with the purchase of any Mount + Light Combination (just PM me).

Or if you need to add covers to your existing lights they are inexpensive: http://www.4x4truckleds.com/led-aux...ighting-accessories/light-covers-rock-guards/

XL80s go for $710.96 a pair: http://www.4x4truckleds.com/led-auxiliary-lights/baja-designs/xl80/

PM me for special pricing on those though, and as I said free covers with the purchase of the lights + a-pillar mounts
