LED light bar placement

[plaintiger]

Hi all. I put a small, 10-inch LED light bar by 4WDKING on the front of my last car, a Honda Accord, and loved it; used it to enhance brightness and coverage of my highbeams. I'm thinking I'd like to put a 30 inch light bar on my Genny sedan for the same purpose and/or to serve as foglights since my car didn't come with them. My question: what's the best place to put such a bar on the front of a 2015 sedan with its wealth of cameras, parking sensors, etc.?

Feh...I keep trying to post a URL to the bar in question but Safari keeps complaining that "the URL can't be shown."

If you search Amazon for "4WDKing LED light bar screwless", it's the 30-inch version of the one with two rows of LEDs.

Using a shorter one would be an option as well; I just like having lots and lots of light – and all the more so as I get older and my night vision gets worse.

Thanks much...

The most obvious spot for fog lights is where the faux fog lights are on each lower end of the front bumper. I think some folks here may have done this, and I would like fog lights as well since only the htrac models got the real ones.

Yes, I'd like factory fog lights too; I have HTRAC, but no fog lights. I was also just reading a review of the car on edmunds.com, and it indicated that self-leveling HID headlights were a part of the Tech package, while I seem to have all of the features of the Tech package except self-leveling HID headlights (and fog lights). Strange…

But I was asking where I would place a 30-inch (76.2 cm)-long LED light bar, which would certainly not fit in the recesses for the factory fog lights.

I too have the ulitmate/tech/sig package without the fogs, but with htrac and the self leveling HIDS... I really wish it had the fogs, but it seems to be a pita to wire them up?

So, I know I'm just helping us get off-topic here...but it was my topic to begin with so I guess that's my right. lol...

My headlights are kind of green when they first come on, and then resolve to a whiter color after about half a second...and I don't ever see any indication of them leveling themselves. Does that sound like HIDs (maybe non-leveling ones?), or some other kind of lights?

100% HID behaviour, and what your car came with.

Auto-levelling doesn't mean "dynamic" if that's what you are looking for. The cluster has a sensor which reads the pitch of the vehicle and angles the lights while you are driving.

Very nice. I had a Chrysler 300 back in 2015, and I've seen it on other cars as well, where when you start the car the headlights come on and the beams dip down and then rise back up to where they think they should be; that's what I was thinking the auto leveling headlights would do in this car, but I guess not. Wonderful to know I've got them after all! Thank you, GeeVee!
