Non OEM/Knockoff TRD PRO Grilles with generic LED light bar output photos

[emerica243]

Does anyone have any decently captured output photos of the generic LED light bar that comes with some of the TRD pro grille kits you find on Amazon, AliExpress etc?

I didn't take any photos yet of mine, but it seemed to be like what is in this video. I did buy the same grill

You will need to back the video to the beginning

Thank you. Will watch this in a bit. So you know if the TOYOTA letters/assembly is the same as the oem Grilles? In other words if I wanted to just order a bronze painted Toyota letter set, would it bolt up to this aftermarket grille?

I don't know. The letters do bolt on so you could paint them first

Here's a video I took of all the different lighting configurations I have. You could probably guess this but the light bar is a piece of junk. That's to be expected when I bought the whole grill w/lights for $215 on a Black Friday deal. The light bar basically is just a huge floodlight, good for looking for owls in the tops of trees I guess but not much else. A month after the install it already has a bit of moisture creeping in. Also, if you look closely at pictures of the Trailhunter/Pro front end it's pretty obvious the light bar opening is larger on the OEM grill than it is on the aftermarket grill. A standard 20" light isn't going to fit the aftermarket grill.

All that makes it sound like I wouldn't buy the grill again, but that's not the case. I really like it and think it was a great deal. I assumed the light bar would be junk and my plan all along has been to replace the light bar with a quality one. I believe I can make the DD Stage Series 18" light bar fit with minimal fabrication so that's my long term plan...

I would be somewhat surprised if the OEM letters were the same as the aftermarket. I'm guessing they probably changed them just enough to avoid copyright issues. Like Romer says, they're easy enough to paint any color you'd like.

Thanks man. Will give it a look
