Grill Light Bar


This is the Night Rider Bar that I purchased from AAC. I attached it to the cooling fins in front of the radiator. Attached to the bar is the control box with a 4ft ribbon cable/wire and then just a hot and ground wire. The bar is 100% controlled by the remote that comes with the bar.

· Removed the front fascia. I’ve removed the fascia 4-5 time now and it’s pretty easy takes about 10 min or 20-30 min if it’s your first time. There is a lot of data on the forum regarding the fascia removal, search halo’s, fascia
· Used double sided automotive tape to mount it to the cooling fins.
· Further secured it using picture frame wire between the fins
· Attached the control box to the inside of the fascia with double sided tape where I didn’t think it would get wet, although I believe it is water proof. (the cable is not long enough to run it into the engine bay)
· Added 4 or 5 feet of wire to the hot and ground wire
· Ran the hot and ground wire through the fascia and through the passenger fender and into the engine bay.
· Add an eye ring to the hot and ground wire.
· Attached the hot to the auxiliary positive (+ with the red cap located next to the fuse box)
· Used a wire brush to remove paint from the wheel well and screwed in the ground
· Replace the front fascia
· Done
Remote turns bar on and off, changes the color (red, green, blue, yellow, purple, teal, white), changes the speed, and changes between about 20 patterns

Thanks guys. Kaiser, your thought may explain my headaches. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I thinks it looks cool. To each his own I guess

Quiknen is correct. I bought the RGB light bar for $59.95. The other light bars are one color only. I added a switch to the center console to make sure I didn't accidently turn the bar on. Driving down the road with the red/blue flashers might not sit well with the local PD. Although I have to addmit that I did move someone out of the left lane recently doing just that. I enjoyed making the left lane vigilante in Prius, get out of my way.

Yes I did, need to remove the fascia, big hands I guess. I also needed to route the control box under the hood because, it was getting wet were I origionally mounted it. I can take the fascia off in less than 10 min, so it was no big deal.
