LED Light Bar In Lower Bumper
As the title states, I'm going to be adding a 24" LED light bar behind the lower grill in the front bumper. I live in the country and any extra lighting would be a huge help.
I'm coming from Toyota Tacomas, 4Runners and Tundras so this is my first venture into a Toyota sedan. Loving it so far, but it's a big change from lifted off-road vehicles.
Enough of that though, has anyone tried this yet? Any issues with putting a light bar in that location?
It should be pretty stealthy, but look really clean.
Thanks for any opinions.

Welcome to CL (I see that you're new). I think I know what type of led Kirby bar you want to install after you said you were into Tacomas. You shouldn't have a problem as long as you find a good location to loony it. I think the metal bumper is too high and not sure if yin can zip tie it. There was a member who had the police blue and red individual led lights. That's as close as I can remember. Good luck and post pics when done.

I'll post pics when I get it done.
Thanks y'all.

Here's a picture of it:
I'm planning on wiring it and running a rocker switch into one of the available slots to the left of the steering wheel where the "coin holders" could go.
Goal is to make it look "stock", too nice of a car to start hacking stuff up.
Pics to come...

I was behind a Ford Raptor last night that had one above-cab and in-grille LED light bars; I gotta say, those things are BRIGHT! The only thing is the in-grille mounted one only illuminated the ground in front of the truck so far. To me, the better investment in lighting is HIDs in the fogs (and the headlamps is you don't already).
GL with the installed; post pics once done!

Update:
The bar came in, I just have to make time to go get a different switch and crawl under there to install it. I'm used to being able to completely sit under my vehicles without using even using a jack, I then realized how good I had it when I could barely squeeze under the front bumper.
Here's a picture of the bar...
Hopefully it will be installed by this weekend.
