All, I was wondering if anyone knows what good current products are available in the form of standalone LED light bars to be mounted *anywhere* on the front end of a CX-5? More specifically, recommendations for what might work well when mounted on the *existing* fog light bezels, or even bigger single bars mounted in the center of the bumper? (Current off-road ones can go up to 20,000 lumens I hear.)
There are a couple old threads, vague at best, but technology is improving rapidly.
Also, what about TAPLESS systems (no wires or fuses, no touching OE wires), using pre-made or DIY harness SPLITTER adapters? Does this exist? VLED sells some of these for tapping standard bulb sockets into their Triton system. Most specifically, I was thinking about "tapping" into the DRL circuit for two small LED light bars to be mounted on the fog light bezel, without buying a whole LED/bezel kit. I would be utilizing a makeshift Y adapted consisting of a P13W male to female extension and then a separate tap into that P13W extension for the LEDs.
And any good way for wiring independent switches inside the cabin? I was thinking about utilizing one of those blanks on the dash next to the switches to the left of the steering wheel. More specifically, I was thinking about "tapping" the fog light circuit on one side and mounting a single LED spotlight bar on the bumper that can be toggled on and off during fog light operation. Any good routes between the cabin and engine bay without tearing into anything?
I'll certainly do some searching around on pickup truck forums and whatnot, but something should definitely be started here.
