Anyone have a light bar installed inside the bottom grill opening? Will this work, any sensors, etc there? Light bar recommendations?

It would have to be a really small light bar! It won't be long before aftermarket grilles with light bars start showing up.Anyone have a light bar installed inside the bottom grill opening? Will this work, any sensors, etc there? Light bar recommendations?

Initially that’s what i wanted to do just to make it look clean. That’s what i did to my Tundra (behind the grille). For the Bronco i don’t think it’s possible, not enough room so I ended up having someone make me a small bull bar with tabs for the light bar. I just went with a 20” single row.

Not enough room. Almost all of the light would get blocked
One day scrolling on Instagram I saw this on someones bronco. I'm kicking myself for not saving the post nor screenshotting it because I like the stealth look.
What I will say, after digging up some installation diagrams, it's a moderate risk to engine cooling. Take it with a grain of salt since I'm not a car expert, but nor do I think the lightbar would completely block the opening and would still allow air in.

Thank you for this graphic. This is really important info. That’s why I ask these questions. It seems like even adding a bar to the bumper technically might block the airflow as well, but hopefully not as much.One day scrolling on Instagram I saw this on someones bronco.

With very minimal trimming a guy on a bronco facebook group installed the M&R 40" light behind the grille
