    I'm looking to install an LED light bar in my lower grill but only want a 20" light bar and have decided on the Rigid E 20" Combo.

    Question 1- Does anyone make a "stealth" mounting solution for this specific length light bar?

    Question 2- Who makes a switch that looks like factory? I intend to put the switch next to the inverter switch.

    Question 3- I also intend to mount a hidden winch using HEFTYfabworks mount, will there be a mounting conflict with the LED light bar?

    Thanks!

    Excellent, thank you! It looks identical to the Air-on-Board switch I found a moment ago. Question, does the blue backlight match the blue instrument lighting and is it dimmable with the instrument lighting?

    If you would please let me know about the backlight color and if it's dimmable once you get 'em installed? :thumbsup:

    I did find out from Chris @HeftyFabworks that NO, there is no room for a light bar in the lower grill once the winch is in place. I don't like hearing "no" so I will have to determine how to MAKE a light bar fit there with a winch.

    Have you looked at the Revtek mount? It's not super stealth, but puts the bar higher above the front bumper and may work with that winch.

    as far as air on board, no. backlight isn't same as the dash. it's a lot more blue. more close to the "d" in the shifter indicator in the center console. and it's not dimmable.
