Where to position led light bar on CL9?
Hi guys
So I live in the country (Ballarat), and I drive a lot of 100kph back roads..... At night, so I have realized that the lights that come with the accord euro are inadequate for country back roads so I have started looking for a led bar for the accord , I know I know .... But don't care if it looks weird just want to be able to see everything after nearly collecting 2 roo's at 80 the other day and another at 110 not long before.... both at night.
So far I have 2 options to mount the new light to the accord
#1 on the roof attached to my roof racks
#2 on a license plate mounting bracket ....
Does anyone have any other ideas regarding how to attach the led bar to the accord without drilling huge holes , damaging the car in any way ?
Also if anyone has done this to an accord or even a Honda please post pics up as I haven't found really any pics on how to install it on a non 4x4 without drilling holes for supports in the roof =(
Thanks so much guys

Where to position led light bar on CL9?
Ok so I bought the number plate mounting bracket and then bought my 20 inch led bar and when I test fitted it,
it just seemed like it would move around a bit as I couldn't fasten it to the front bumper properly
....
So I went with option B
Mount led bar in the area where the grill is on the front bumper.
So I went and got a mate to make me some brackets that attached the led bar to the front of the car where the grill is.....was lol
So then had another mate install the electrics and bam it's all up and running like a dream
Only thing I have to do is buy some mesh to fill in the gaps around the led bar,
But for now I've used some tinted plastic to do the job until I find the right mesh ,
Amazing light improvement for anyone looking for extra light

This is the area I mounted the led bar to
My mate used some of the pre existing holes in the front bar and put massive hollow pop rivets with a thread on the inside in the pre existing holes and that's how I bolt down my mounts that hold the light

Time to make the grill fit

Outer shell of grill fitted back on with tinted plastic (temporarily until I get the right mesh)
I went with a Cree 20 inch 120w 10,500 lumen spot and flood combo
Super impressed with the results
Highly recommended
