That's the setup I was thinking of trying. I'm still reading through the thread and it may be answered here soon but any concerns about the heat from that light affecting the intercooler?I did a little 12" led light bar in the grille and I love it. I could have done the 18" or 24" but my shop didn't have them in at the time. It works great on the backroads especially on foggy nights.
You can kind of see it here.
Looks goodFinished my install! pretty happy with the end results, need to aim it properly though. i do wish it was brighter though.
Finished wiring. Relay is a HELLA weather proof relay and matching harness
For now, its just switched with a simple switch until i get my proper one. i want this to look as OEM as possible
End result
yes, there are holes in my bumper from removing the plate, working on filling those is next.
EDIT: so after doing some nighttime driving, im really happy with the bar i installed. while headlights are more directed, this illuminates more around, especially the sides of the road. since i live in an area heavily populated with deer, this is very nice! right now between high beams and the LED bar, i can light up buildings from about a quarter mile away

That's mine!!! My friend just stumbled across this thread. I know I'm a little late to the party, but if anyone has any question, I'd love to answer them.
Ya, I thought about that too. I'm not worried about it cooling at night when I'd use it just because of the cooler nights but it still blocks some some stuff. I haven't had any issues with overheating but I'm not too sure how to tell if I get heat soak or not.Looks good but I think you lose some cooling.
Two questions, one are you stock tune, and second do you have an aftermarket intercooler?
I took it on the track today. It was 92 outside and after driving it hard it didn't seem to make it run hotter. But if I'm getting heatsoak, I don't know. I'm not sure what the symptoms are of it here's some more pictures of it
Drive it like you stole it

You say that, and I generally agree, but assume that you say that because I'll create heatsoak by blocking it. It's that correct? If so, what are the symptoms of it? I'm not blocking the air flow with cardboard or anything. There's about 2 inches behind that light. Sure it's blocking it, but not absolutely not letting air pass like putting cardboard on it.Don't block your intercooler guys.
