I'm so torn on what to do. I want a bar in my lower valance but need to retain the stupid license plate. Debating wether to go 2 12"s or 30" and figure out something for the plate. Or just let it block dome of the bar.

Turn your license plate holder upside-down so it doesn't hang down over the opening?

I too didn't know if I wanted a 30 in the lower or not because of the plate. So I found a deal on (4) rigid srq2 wide beam lights. Installed them and have zero regrets. I'm able to aim 2 off to the sides and 2 straight ahead. Also have a 10 E2 combo in the upper and the rigid dot fogs. No night shots yet.

Got the idea to use the srq2 from Benson X and his video he posted. And when I saw the 4 srq2's for $300, I couldn't pass. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/arb-bumper-mod-rigid-sr-q2.376733/#post-10334072

Made this bracket x2 to bolt to the crash bar and get the lights centered.

Yup. Your relay is probly a 40 amp. My 20" and two 8" are on same relay and they only draw about 17 amps. My roof bar has its own relay though.

Thanks, I already have the pods installed so all I would do is splice the light bar to 1 of the pods correct?

I suppose that'd work. I usually make jumpers by splicing into the wiring coming from the relay. Or make a jumper from the relay itself. Just keep in mind that by doing so and if you have a fuse/relay go out, all your lights will go out and not just one. But that's usually not the case I think.I mean you're gonna be replacing the relay/fuse regardless so it'd be easier having one harness to maintain rather than 3 or even 2 having them isolated. But haven't had any issues except with a couple relays that got water in them. So make sure it's in a good location and the relay is mounted in an upright position with the cap on top and wires on bottom at the least.
