[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1588291, member: 21926"] I don’t. If you look at each scrap of leather, they’re cut with tabs on the ends and those tabs fit into the grille slots above / below the light. the bottom ones literally sit right on top of the Ford logo, and the sides just need to fit in any slot. You can fire up the light bar and nothing gets through that wouldn’t get through one of the factory B/D light covers. I thought about trying to use the factory covers, there’s no way to make them work. 1) the S8 sits right up against the outer grille. you would need to completely disassemble everything, block off the light, reassemble and inspect. It would be easier to remove the light, get inspected and reinstall. 2) I thought about kydex. Don’t. S8 puts out enough heat to deform kydex. 3) factory covers over the grille - I could not envision a way to make this work. There were 2 problems - affixing them and because of the gap left, some light would escape “around” the covers. I knew my local guy would flunk that, because I asked. Those leather scraps are just regular 8-10m thickness cow leather, dyed with leather dye and water proofed ( such as it is ). same thickness you might opt for with a handgun holster or a belt.
