    Anyone know if the hood skewp between the 2nd and 3rd gens are the same size?

    Or better yet, anyone have any suggestions for LED light bars to install in the hood skewp?

    There was a TW member selling them and they looked real good. Hopefully he sees this.

    I contacted C4 about the 2012 to 2015 led kits about 8 months ago and was told he stopped selling the kits for these years as the hood scoop is too small and the only LED that fit was a cheap overseas unit that proved problematic and underpowered.

    Perhaps things have changed.

    Looks like it based off of the thread that was posted.

    Too bad. Was hoping for something more pkg and play. Guess I may need to try on this install.

    I used a cheap Amazon single row, some long bolts, lock washers, and some nuts from the hardware store, and a few zip ties for good measure. It’s held up great for over a year now, hasn’t loosened at all. :thumbsup:

    For the record, I had the light bar leftover from a motorcycle project. It was definitely a do it for shits and giggles instead of it actually being super bright. I will admit it works better than I expected and it’s nice to have on back roads

    What you really need is a functional scanner as well as an LED light. My sensors are picking up danger, Michael. :yes:

    I have an uninstalled C4 kit I’m still looking forward to putting in my 13 one day. Bought it used on here and hope it’s worth the hassle
