    Long time lurker, second time post.

    I've got a 2019 ORP. I've been considering adding a light bar behind the grill. I realize that to get the most from a light bar it should be mounted high and without anything in front of the light. I'd rather have the understated look of a somewhat hidden light bar. It'll be somewhat blocked by the grill and having it recessed that far means that it may have some light lost on the sides.

    Can anyone give me their opinion or expertise on doing this? Whose light bar would you recommend or not recommend? Should a light bar be mounted only in front of the grill? Does this have any impact on my radiator's efficiency? Any recommendations on switches?

    Thanks for your input.
