It would have to be a really small light bar! It won't be long before aftermarket grilles with light bars start showing up.

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.

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

So my friend got this light bar and it honestly fits perfect in that spot. It literally slides in that area and is held in there on it's own and really tight snug fit.

For some reason pics aren't uploading but this is the light bar. I can DM you if you want pics or try it again later. I know this an old post but just came across it.
