I was looking for a solution to get my LED pods out off the hood. The added light was nice for driving these OH country roads in the dark, but I finally found something. I just needed to swap the grille first.

AFTER- Lexus F Sport Grille

Next, time to move the lights. I found some stacking dual layer light bar brackets online and got those ordered. I had some 20 inch light bars so I mounted those right behind the grille and everything fit perfectly.

I pulled the Ditch Brackets off the hood and I am way happier with the cleaner look. Plus, no need for security hardware!

The bars are Rigid’s and there is some light loss due to the grille but it is still way brighter than the pods these bars replaced. Overall, I am very happy with the results!

...doesn’t this massively block airflow to the radiator?

Nah. They are single row lights so there is lots of space for air. Also, the Lexus has a ton of plastic under the hood and it pretty much forces the air right into the radiator.

I still think that vanity plate is an absolute winner...
