My LED's are working and i have to say they are twice as bright as my highbeams, hid's, and fogs COMBINED. Very happy with this mod and i think im going to go ahead and hook up the second switch so they come on when highbeams are on.



i put switches beside parking break


Everything but led bar


Only led bar, the light is not as focused a-far but lights up so much of the shoulders and allows for much more detail of objects to show ahead which the pictures i believe does not do its justice.

Very nice. I am thinking of putting one of these on my durango. But I have a questions.

1. How does it hold up with that bumper?
2. Did you have any problems with hitting the airbag sensors?
3. Can you tell me how you mounted it pics?

Thanks and great job.

1. I feel like it is quite sterdy! It came with the mounting equipment and I just put some bigger washers underneith the bumper. You can grab the led bar and lift the front end up a bit with minimal flex. But definitely not towing from it well say that.

2. No issues with any sensors.

3 I took off the bumper there are forums on here how to do that and then I drilled two holes in the bumper which the bolts went through to hold it on. Ran the wire through the grill into engine bay and wired her up with a relay of course.

I highly recommend you do this led mod first the bar works amazingly well at lighting up the ~160 degrees infront of the vehicle. The 32inch curved led bars are the only ones that will fit in the bumper

Because of the grill you have to cut a bit out of the heat exchanger like I have below
