Mounted up 4x Diode Dynamics SS3’s last night in the lower grille area with some minor bracket modification (2x SAE Driving and 2x Flood Sports). Wired them to trigger when the high beams are engaged.

They are centered vertically and have plenty of room for adjustment.

Blocking airflow.... will that be a issue for the radiator / intercooler long term?

This is what I’d like to do. What modifications did you have to do to the bracket? How sturdy are they using those existing mounting holes?

Looks great! Could you share the installation process/efforts? Bolt in? or drilling/cutting/fabricating?

Baja Design has a very similar kit they offer for the Ranger with 4 lights.

Same question to them.. Blocking airflow.... will that be a issue for the radiator / intercooler long term?

Lot's of folks selling stuff.. Don't confuse that with meaning it won't create an issue.

I was wondering if the box in that area of the grill is the adaptive cruise control sensor? Did the lights affect any of the trucks features?

I am tempted to run two lights down in the grill and two normal ditch lights but was not sure if that would cause issues.

Looks good, I like that purple light inside the grill, what is that? Easy to install?
