    I tried something similar. The flashback you see on the video is even with it in place.

    I dunni, maybe I should have a bodyshop screw it into place so it is flush to the windshield.

    I have the same visor light sitting in my garage.

    best bet is to install it under the headliner like this

    Now that’s awesome! Only problem I have now is I just removed my visor bar from my F150 and installing it in my 2021 Tacoma. It doesn’t fit because of the auto high beam sensor behind the rear view mirror. It fit perfectly in my 2016 and 2017 Tacoma but not my 2021.

    Anyone else have a visor bar in a Tacoma with auto high beams? What bar did you run?

    @anthony250f

    How did you get ot under the headliner, which brackerlts (short or long) were used, and how did you secure it. My Truck has ths curtain airbags, there is a bar up under the front headliner start area. I do not wanna risk damaging my truck. Still owe 19.5k on it.

    Also any tips on installing the grille lights. I am actually thinking of getting 2-4 to go on the side of my truck as intersection lights (1 or 2 on each side so people dun hit me while in an intersection and stationary.) Since originally starting this theread I have joined my SO's SAR unit so there may be times i need them.

    Thanks
    Sam

    just remove the headliner and screw right into the support under it. Never fully mounted the STL bar but I was using the long I think. Whelen bar is 1 whole mount.

    for the grill I went straight to the front
