It's 2022 and here I am in Australia thinking about doing this to my Pajero. I am impressed and think it's a great look. And that light bar works a treat too.
Great job. Thanks for your video. I ordered the exact same light and harness that you supplied on your link below. The install was a little more involved than I anticipated but I got the job done. The hardware is difficult to attach to the light brackets once the main pivot brackets are installed. I would advise not ordering the wiring harness from the company you recommended as the light bar arrives in a couple of days whereas the harness took 2 weeks. All in all it looks awesome behind the grill.
Nice step by step instruction without a ton of un-necessary babbling and half-assed attempts at humor. Im going to do this now on my Infiniti FX. Thanks for putting this out there.
Tim Miklas hey bro, I actually changed my mind and went with a single row 41" bar to fit behind the upper section of grill. I plan to mount it directly behind the grill for a "OEM" look, Figured it be a cleaner look since it fit directly in the grill and be in line with the headlights. I ordered it and the wiring yesterday, it'll be in Friday. After I install and I'm going to make a quick video to show the installation and light bar as soon as possible. Go ahead and sub to my channel so you get the notification when I post the vid! Vehicle: 2010 Avalanche LTZ Bar: 41" nilight single row 200w
Truck Master video of my light bar in up! I recorded it real quick, I'll pull out the Nikon and make a better video later on. It's a 41" single row bar. Because of its size I ended up having to take the entire front end off, which wasn't difficult at all(it's only held on by 6 bolts at the bottom). I'm very pleased with the look and light power! Your video was my inspiration!
@10:34 “It really didn’t take that long”. Yeah right! That’s why you spliced in after shutting the video off for about 3 hours. 😂😂😂😂kicked the shit outta a tree and drank about 7 beers.
Awesome video! I’ve got a 2007 Chevy Subruban z71 and I’ve been looking for a lightbar for the same place you put it in. I want mine to reach both sides of the grill so little less then 3 feet. I’m going to look into this light bar company too because that wiring kit looks very simply and easy to use
I installed my lights behind grille also but wired them to a 16 gauge 12 foot dc cord that plugs into 12 volt supply next to cigarette lighter. Way easier
Hey nice video I thought the bar wasn't going to show enough light behind the grill like that but wow nice Ill be doing mine the same way thanks (but I will run the wires thru the firewall )
Those damn clips did not wanna release, took what felt like a solid hour. I don't see how people are claiming it only takes a few minutes.....sssshhhiiiidddd
You shoulda mourned centered to the bottom grille both vertically and horizontally...... Not just horizontally centered..... Get longer bolts and washer to shim up or cut a length of copper piping for shims
I'm looking for the same truck... just a few years newer... I hate the idea of losing light behind the grill.. but i think that is the neatest way to do it. I mean not using a push/light bar. Thanks.
How much room is there between the back of the light assembly and the front of the radiator? I have a 2013 Avalanche with the aux transmission cooler and it doesn’t appear to be a lot of room. TIA! Great video BTW, very informative.
Thanks for the video! I'm looking to do to my 2013 avalanche. your description details the wire harness but your video says it came with it? the Amazon link for the bar doesn't seem to include the wiring and the switch is way different than your video. Thoughts? Thanks.
👍I like LED lights but all of the ones I’ve had for maybe 4 or 5 mos (w/ little use) the light degrades rather quickly as far as the brightness. Also, my shop lights do it too. (120v) just my 2¢ 👍
Having your light bar behind your grill, and after doing highway driving or a build up of bugs on your light. What is the easiest way for one to clean the light bar. I want to install behind grill of '06 Avalanche but unsure about how easy it would be to clean the night bar.
Do they make those for Chevrolet Avalanches as well? I have a 2012 Chevy Avalanche and I've been wanting to get those for my Chevy as well .Great video though.
Mike, did you ever install? I have a 2013 LTZ with the aux transmission cooler as well and looks like the distance from face of aux cooler to rear of light bar would be too narrow.
I have 2, 7" inch light bars & i plan on installing them behind my grill as well. I have that same wiring harness. Is it possible to run both light bars to one harness? Please respond it would help a lot. Thanks.
+Keith H I'm not 100 percent sure. I personally would but your relay might not be strong enough over time you might fry it out. Watch my 4 inch led video I used a wiring harness that has two connections i think that that wiring harness is the way to go but it's your call
Did they change the switch? I don't want to permanently attache to my dash. How long could a 12 in light bar take to kill the battery if truck not running?
Wow that’s amazing! I did the same thing, but bought a light bar that allows you to change the color and it went out within a month of having it installed. Thanks for the reply and great video. I had my father install the other one for me, but with your tutorial, I might be able to do it myself!
Holy cow, that wiring install is TERRIBLE! They give you the grommets on the firewall for that, not in the dam door jamb lol Thanks for the review though, I will be buying one
Why run it through the door like that? Your going to damage the wires with the door opening and closing against the seal. Should of gone through the door wire harness boot at least
those's on/off switches about fucking junk wouldn't be surprised if you said it broke in a week .iv went thur 3 of them before i swap it out for a metal toggle switch
Did they change the switch? I don't want to permanently attache to my dash. How long could a 12 in light bar take to kill the battery if truck not running?
+Eric Szymczyk I've never had a problem with the battery I've had the truck sit for two months and it didn't affect anything but I would like to replace that switch
It's 2022 and here I am in Australia thinking about doing this to my Pajero. I am impressed and think it's a great look. And that light bar works a treat too.
LOVE this mod on my 07 Tahoe. I tapped into the left fog light. This light has saved me a few times!
That's a great idea. So does the stock vehicle fog light button operate the new lightbar or you still have to mount the one that came with it?
One of the best tutorials i have ever seen. For once i actually finish a video knowing what to do! Thx
+MNTRUCKLORD awesome thanks for the comment
Very helpful!!! I have a 2007 chevy suburban and followed all your steps. Thank you so much for you help!!!

Kudos for crawling under your truck in the snow for this.
+Bob Wassell thanks
Installation is fantastic, doing it in the snow is nucking futs. Nice work!
+6771Randy thanks brother lol
i like the wires running thru the door jamb thats profesional
+duramaxfl lol I know I should have ran it thru the firewall
Truck Master if you don't mind me asking what do you mean by firewall
Sharkson77 firewall if the front barrier of the cab (separates engine bay and cabin)
actually thats really good since you are not driliing anything , you keep your truck integrity
I don't run wires thru the firewall because it's just a bigger pain and you risk damaging the factory wiring harness if you screw up.
Holy bright light. That's amazing.
+Lynn Mckenney lol so true
Thanks man! I was looking to do this install on my 07 Avalanche and your video is the PERFECT tutorial! Following step by step, but I'm going 32".
+CyberFaction that's great and I'm sure the 32" will fit nicely
CyberFaction hey man how did the 32" install go. Is it too wide to mount correctly or did it work?
Tim Miklas hey bro, I actually changed my mind and went with a single row 41" bar to fit behind the upper section of grill.

16:05 Well you won't have to worry about watching for deer ever again, as they're incinerated by the brightness of this light bar.
Can you tap in to the factory fog light? This would eliminate the switch.
That’s what I did too
I'm definitely doing this to my Yukon Denali!
@10:34 “It really didn’t take that long”.
Yeah right! That’s why you spliced in after shutting the video off for about 3 hours. 😂😂😂😂kicked the shit outta a tree and drank about 7 beers.
Just installed the same bar with this video but one correction. They are 3 inch bolts not 4 inch. Thanks for posting this! 🎉
Awesome video! I’ve got a 2007 Chevy Subruban z71 and I’ve been looking for a lightbar for the same place you put it in. I want mine to reach both sides of the grill so little less then 3 feet.

yes i agree awesome video i just got mine in the mail this afternoon so ill hook mine up this week on my yukon 03 again thanks for the video sir
I installed my lights behind grille also but wired them to a 16 gauge 12 foot dc cord that plugs into 12 volt supply next to cigarette lighter. Way easier
Just watched your led lightbar on ur Duramax install boutta put a 54" on my 2017 Silverado
+TheRealTruman it's going to look great good luck man
Wow lots of the 4 behind the grill nice job buddy
We need more tahoe vids 👍
Hey nice video I thought the bar wasn't going to show enough light behind the grill like that but wow nice Ill be doing mine the same way thanks (but I will run the wires thru the firewall )
+Tony B thanks
"it just unclips" has been the most common explanation on youtube of how to remove the chevy grill and nothing could be further from the truth lol.
It's a pain in the ass. Going to give it another try tomorrow
Those damn clips did not wanna release, took what felt like a solid hour. I don't see how people are claiming it only takes a few minutes.....sssshhhiiiidddd
You shoulda mourned centered to the bottom grille both vertically and horizontally...... Not just horizontally centered..... Get longer bolts and washer to shim up or cut a length of copper piping for shims
+Leatherkid01 that's a great idea
Leatherkid01
The man is showing how to install it, in winter Lol, so I think he centered in summer ;)
nice truck

I just bought a 32” curved black faced lightbar from the same company! Almsot woundering if I should post a vid on It
Having your light bar behind your grill, and after doing highway driving or a build up of bugs on your light. What is the easiest way for one to clean the light bar. I want to install behind grill of '06 Avalanche but unsure about how easy it would be to clean the night bar.
just power wash it bud through the grill
How did you connect to connectors (red&black wire) to the light bar?? Also what type or wiring harness cable did you buy?
There's a hot 12 volt stud on the fuse box on the driver's side. Should have tagged in there and it would have been perfect.
If pull litt piece of rubber by washer fluid fill u can put ur hand right on day time running light
Do you live in Michigan by chance? That area looks kind or familiar. Great video though, nice job on making this video.
+Michael De Starbuck Mustang Rebel Productions thanks and yes I live in MI
Truck Master Ahh, ok and ur welcome
nice job man my wife has a 2012 Chevy Suburban think about doing the same thing to her suv
+Bear Junior thanks man and yes it will work for the dodge you just need to find a good spot to mount it behind the grill
I subscribed to your channel.. because I’m sure you have other videos that would help me beef up my truck... Thanx a milli 💜💛
So all that came with the light or did you have to buy the connector separate
It all came with it
Do they make those for Chevrolet Avalanches as well? I have a 2012 Chevy Avalanche and I've been wanting to get those for my Chevy as well .Great video though.
+Areyou Feelingitnow Eugene Krabs yes they do you can order the same one I have
Thanks for sharing the info. I'm thinking about a 37-inch bar in the same place behind the grille on my '08 Burban LTZ. Appreciate the info.
Great job boss really good
+victor Gonzalez thanks!
Good video
great video but do you have a link for the wires or was it included with one of the items ?
+d Ramirez it was included
If you have the towing package and the extra oil cooler in front of the radiator is there still room enough on a 2011 Chev Sub LTZ?
Mike, did you ever install? I have a 2013 LTZ with the aux transmission cooler as well and looks like the distance from face of aux cooler to rear of light bar would be too narrow.
I'm going to buy the product and see if it fits. I have the same year/ model suburban!
I'm sorry. I can't figure out where you attached the positive side of the wiring harness.
Do u have water entering from your passenger side do to the wire over the weather strip
How much should it cost, I notice amazon prices are mostly twice as much as brick/mortar stores.
great video, thanks alot
+justme thanks
Great video bro!
super cool man.
awesome, wish I could do that with my tahoe, I have a 98, so there isn't much room behind the grill
+Jaime G. You might need to get a bull bar for your bumper yo mount a light
I have 2, 7" inch light bars & i plan on installing them behind my grill as well. I have that same wiring harness. Is it possible to run both light bars to one harness? Please respond it would help a lot. Thanks.
+Keith H I'm not 100 percent sure. I personally would but your relay might not be strong enough over time you might fry it out. Watch my 4 inch led video I used a wiring harness that has two connections i think that that wiring harness is the way to go but it's your call
Truck Master alright, I will check it out. & thanks again man, I appreciate it. Keep up the good work! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
+Keith H no worries good luck brother
Truck Master installed my lights today man, ran both to the same harness. Let's see how long it lasts. Lol Looks bad ass. Thanks.
+Keith H I'm sure it looks great Worst case that relay will go before the lights will which is no big deal take it easy
Do you think its possible to fit a bigger size like 28inch lightbar behind the tahoes grill
Hey boss would I be able to install this same exact bar on a 2004 Chevy Tahoe? What brand of light bar is this?
Do they make a bigger led light? I want it as big as possible.
Did they change the switch? I don't want to permanently attache to my dash. How long could a 12 in light bar take to kill the battery if truck not running?
Thinking I'm going to do this on my 2009 Suburban.
great job man
+Sharkson77 thanks
nice job i m thinking to put on 2012 tahoe
+Younes Ahmad its not a bad idea I think you will like it
Where did you end up mounting the switch? I can't decide where to mount my switch
hey u think that will work on a 2006 Dodge Ram I want to do the same thing in my truck
How long of a light bar do you suspect you could fit in there? Maybe a 40" light bar?
+danml550 I would say 34"
Hey Guys this Video was an awesome help with a problem with a 12 inch light bar i was running into. Thanks.
yup ima put a 30 or 36 in bar in
Man I’ve been searching for that same grill you have but I cannot find it! Do you have any idea where I can find one?
good job !
+Tacoma FAN thanks
super easy vid,tell me how much 4 that lightbar on amazon.and how much is that winter jacket,amazon aswell,reply when u get a chance cheers
yo u didnt reply to my question,whats up with that?
Great video You should get a light bar for the roof of your tahoe
+Kaden Moreland2021 I think the wife wouldn't be to happy but I agree lol
Oh lol
where did you buy the actual mounts?
Got the same light on my four wheelers. Had to take them off of my Jeep, they caused static on the radio
Where did you get your wheels from? The rims
Thank Bro
What rims you running there boss?
Any hints for 2004 mod?
can those lights be used on fog? will they cut thru?
+David Piceno I don't think so this would be to bright
What is the amp draw spec of these light Bars????
Whens the next video on the cummins?
Josh Ansin I'm looking at next year it's put up for the winter

+Josh Ansin thanks man
Any issues with it so far?
+del0373 nothing except I hate that crappy on and off switch
@@TruckMaster y don’t you just strip and put switch
Link too head lights ?
why did you go with the 25 " not the 31" light bar?
+jdlinser I don't know man but later I switched to a longer one
what size did you switch to?
How long has that light bar last you?
It still works
Wow that’s amazing! I did the same thing, but bought a light bar that allows you to change the color and it went out within a month of having it installed. Thanks for the reply and great video. I had my father install the other one for me, but with your tutorial, I might be able to do it myself!
Where did you mount the relay??
He sure replied didnt he lol. He shouldnt have said he would get back to everyone haha
A for effort.... D for execution. only because of the wire in the doorjamb.
good gab
Here’s a great explanation of installing a light bar th-cam.com/video/1q4wZqys0l0/w-d-xo.html
Since ya put a light bar on, might as well swap to LED headlights
This has to be the worst mounting mechanism, i regret not getting the ones with the end mounts, seems alot easier.
Holy cow, that wiring install is TERRIBLE! They give you the grommets on the firewall for that, not in the dam door jamb lol
Thanks for the review though, I will be buying one
The hid lights fit only,not the led its to big
Can u put more videos
*not a truck
Why run it through the door like that? Your going to damage the wires with the door opening and closing against the seal. Should of gone through the door wire harness boot at least
Reason I say that is because I did that once and frayed the wires over time but the light looks great and nice idea to mount on my Tahoe thank you
+scorpion8525 thanks for the comment your right about the wiring but when I shut the door it barely touches
I just bought for dodge ram 98
Great job now replace those dog eared head lights ..get er done
Want to sell your Lbz?
