Need some measurements on the LS400 98-00 model


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have an LS400 in Spain but I don't live there and I am far from the car for a few weeks as it is my holiday car when I go there. 

I am just planning on installing a single row LED lightbar behind the grille or in the lower end of the splitter so it would be a stealth mount only visible from the front at a low height or several meters distance. Hard to get stolen when the car stays on the street. And protected from the people who park by sound in front as well. But more importantly it won't ruin the front of the car style. 

The car on the picture is just for reference, is not mine. 

 

I want to know the distance right between the arrows in each picture, because behind it and at the same level of the bumper cover there is a steel frame where it would be possible to drill and either hang the lightbar or seat it on top. 

To understand what I mean, this first picture with the bumper removed you can see the frame exposed where I plan to install the lightbar.

Thank you. 

I think a 37 inch should fit similar to what they did in this 1995 LS400 .

Now its a matter of deciding if single row, double or even triple row LED style. 

A single row would perform good enough between the vents. But a taller lightbar filling up the entire vents from top to bottom would perform better although much of the light would get blocked.

I also have to test if a curved lightbar would fit. 

 

All this would go on another thread if I get it to work.
