Default Grille light bar

Has anyone installed the grille light bar (11232.20)? Do you have to remove the insert cover between bumper and grill?

The MBRP light hoop requires cutting that filler panel to mount properly. Is that the one you mean?

That's a MOPAR part number. I believe this is the one he's talking about:



You don't have to REMOVE the filler plate between the bumper and grill, but you do have to trim it down a little. Pretty simple though...

Opps, sorry. It looks like it mounts the same way. Cutting the panel is easy...getting the crap platic screw/fasteners out without destroying them is another story.

Having a Dremel tool makes it a lot easier. I cut mine while it was still installed.
