I bought some small LED lights to mount on each side of what I believe to be the adaptative crise control radar unit. Additionally, they are small enough not to block a lot of wind, so cooling should not be an issue. My question to you that might know, will these lights be far enough away from the ACC unit to not interfere with it's operation? I am trying to mount them directly to the side of the radar unit and slightly forward. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Finished the install today and mounted the lights actually inside the opening and back, rather than even with the opening / radar unit for the ACC. I had to use extra nuts to act as a spacers so the lights would be just tall enough when mounted to the lower plastic plate inside between the bumper and the radiator (or air to air cooler, whatever it is). Actually, it turned out pretty good. Smaller lights but still pretty bright. And I have one light on upfitter switch #5 and the other on upfitter switch #6 on my Tremor. Pics don't do it justice. All wires are soldered, heat shrunk, and inside wire loom, and secured with tie wraps, or zip ties if you call them that.
Now, on to A pilar lights :like:
