@Jean Mercier Could you please do me a favor and measure the lowest opening in the grill the next time you get your hands on your car? As shown in the attachment.
Thank you very much...

I measured the grill itself, the opening is slightly larger of course:

[EDITED] 4cm high by (probably) 56 cm wide (length).
I removed the picture because I probably made a mistake.

Thank you very much, @Jean Mercier

Those: https://strandseurope.com/product/siberia-sr-led-bar-12/ are 45mm high... Hmmmmm...

OK, next time I measure the opening, but it will be very tight I guess or 2mm to small!

 

[Pat-Ard]

Thanks...
If too small then I'll need to cut out the upper part of the grill...

Are you sure?
360mm seems small

It is more than 63 mm, if I measure it at the pictures of the front.
Then the Osram SX 300 CB would fit.

or better: small Osram Lightbar FX500 family

This would fit in that hole quite nicely, its E marked so road legal on main beam...

you want to close an opening that was made to supply air?

Euh, now that you make the comment, hmm, perhaps I made a mistake! I'll measure it again, or somebody else
Perhaps it was 56 cm.

Yeah I was wondering that. However mounting forward of the opening on the massive Euro bumper “may” still allow enough air in. Won’t work for me though as I’ve the winch optioned, unless I want to add to the faff of accessing it which I don’t.

I set the measures in relation. You wrote that the grill ist about 40 mm high. That gives a ration of about 1:3.75... Which means the grill is about 750mm wide... And regarding the relation between the grill and the width of the car, that makes more sense...
I added my "calculations"....

 

[WhiteBear]

Little too much, I think. The car is about 190cm where you measure.

 

[DaveB]

I have to say I have never worked in Centimetres and find it very difficult to follow.
We always measure, cut, build in millimetres for accuracy and consistency.
Measuring in centimetres brings in a margin of error of 20mm (10mm minimum) or 3/4" for our US viewers
That is a huge difference

 

[DCPU]

Yes, I guess so, but I didn't analyse how they are mounted. I didn't like it at all! I would guess that they will not survive intensive usage, neither 10 years, but I could be wrong.

Maybe next visit you can get a few photos?

 

[Jean Mercier]

63 cm instead of 36! (dyslexia?)
The free height is about 44 mm.
