Front lightbar - inner works and structure

[KBM]

Hi everyone,

Been reading this forum for a while now, please excuse my English... i usually speak French (hope there aren't too many haters )

I'm looking into a possible project, modifying the internals of the front light bar. I know some of you handled the part, i read something about working on 24-36v, how to install, but not much more.

I see a possibility, but can't find the solution. Anyone has a broken front lightbar ? I want to inspect and dissasemble the light, to see if my project can work.

Anyone out there can help with either the broken part, pictures or diagrams ?

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

I might be interpreting the wrong information, but it states DRL 36 volts...

You can find broken Light Bars on eBay here and there but they’re still expensive. I saw a broken one the other day for $200 or $300.

Thank you for the explanation

As far as the post states, he is interpreting it correctly, so maybe the OP from the other thread is wrong and the wiring diagram is wrong but they clearly stated 36v is need

“By default if your truck isn't equipped with a light bar it just won't output the 36 volts needed to run the light bar.”

In any case, the modification I have in mind should not require the need of eliminating what is already there.

I do not think this is the right vehicle for hauling a trailor. I think keeping aerodynamics to the best is a must on the highway.

This being said, for a service or warning vehicle, adding warning lights and beacons. If using the standard lights models, they will extrude outside the trucks body aero lines and will affect range on the highway.

So I was thinking of using the front lightbar as a warning light - amber and white. Adding a headache rack with warning lights behind, not on top. Add flashing beacons in the backup lights and front flashers... should also give a stealth look. Surface mount flashers on the steps...

What are yout thoughts ? The lightbar is the only thing holding back this plan.

Or disassemble a surface strobe or two, and insert them inside the lightbar.

Headache rack for rear strobes + surface mount strobes between bumper and tailgate.... in all cases, front lightbar is hardest to plan out.
