    @TACOHAWG13 Thanks! Will check that out.

    Any down the road pictures of the Optix? (Maybe in your posts but I haven’t looked yet) I’m currently all OEM lights up front.

    Enough for now
    no down the road posts, I’ll admit the Optix light output is meh, i keep it on more so for other cars to see me rather than as a spotlight. My hood deflector blocks some of the light. Barely noticeable during the day but I also don’t want to take everything apart and swap out the light bars. It has survived one touch less car wash so far and multiple insect strikes as I drove through swarms this weekend.

    I would see if nilight has a 17in single stack led light bar. I’m pretty sure I saw one on Amazon a couple days ago.

    I actually have an issue with mine. Got water inside the lens. Was hoping to contact him about that kind of thing, but maybe not now.

    I have a Spartanx scoop light with hardware, with one led out. It had some water intrusion. I was thinking of either fixing and selling it or just letting it go to someone who wants to fix it themselves.

    sent you a PM so that we don't hi-jack this thread.

    If you can install a light bar in the hood scoop, I would def go for it. I would have cut out the grill or partially take out some of the grids in the grill to allow more light to shine through. I never got around to it though.

    Do you have link to the brackets? I just got my DD light bar for this and the brackets don’t allow the light bar to piece everything back together flush….
