Hi! I am wondering if the space under the grill area is a functional vent for cooling? I wanted to place a light bar here because it fits perfectly.

Also, where is the plug located for Ext1 so I can connect it to the interior switch?

These are my two options at the moment.

If you take the air filter box out it’s easier to get to the wiring. You may be able to reach it without , not sure
In my case it was taped to the loom above the air inlet on the inner wing

I think it’s the other side in LHD vehicles

I had Houston Car Stereo mount it but will take a look tomorrow. It felt sturdy and tight in there when I picked it up

That’s a cool idea to put a led light bar in the grill. I never thought of that. Did it work?
