    This pertains to 05 to 11 Tacoma's
    Been awhile but the mod bug has bitten me again. The question I have is who has put a 32" CURVED LED light bar in the lower bumper valance?
    And can you post pictures. On to the reason is because we live in the WFO (Way Far Out) with fields close to the road and you can quess what comes out of those fields besides mice.
    My thought is with the curved light it might spread out over the road sides better than a straight bar.
    And yes I have used the search feature.
    Thanks for your help.

    I just received my eBay 32” bar and my eBay mounting brackets which both costed me around 60$ total. Installing Sunday.

    30$ bar. 20$ mounts. I chose not to cut the grill part out so I cut the mounts back about 1” and re drilled the holes to mount the bar. The mounts were eBay. And for perfect minus me cutting the ends off some to make it fit behind the grill

    That looks great. I see you pulled grill off to access for the wiring was it easier?

    There is a YouTube video on how to install the bar. I used mounts off eBay that look exactly like the high end ones a few vendors sell.

    Haven’t wired it yet. Ran out of time

    I have a 40” rough country x5 curved bar tucked in mine. Very tight fit. Lots of light output. If it’s light out tomorrow when I get home I’ll take some pictures.

    I really like this! How beneficial is the light output from this location?
