    Let me guess, you hit something on a dark road previously, explaining the mismatched bumper cover and the light bar?

    You should definitely order a grill that you can fab the light bar into. That would be neat.

    Connorkules, how do you have your light bar wired, did you have to run wire all the way to the 12v battery?

    same problem. I’m not sure I can use the 12v because it’s not utilized like a regular gasoline engine would use it. So I’m not sure if it would drain or not.

    You can use the 12v. The only way itll drain it is if theres a connection. But the moment you click the light bar off, the loop is closed and no connection. Battery recharges only when car is in ready mode just fyi.

    The 12V battery is being charged when the car is running just like any other car, so a light bar won't be a problem unless you somehow forget to turn it off when you turn the car off. Which would be slightly concerning if you were driving in a state of mind where you don't notice that when getting out...
