Default Need some measurements on the 98-00

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, on the thrird picture with the bumper removed you can see the frame exposed where I plan to install the lightbar.




Grille, ls400

lip, grille, bumper


Thanks in advance.

I've got them from another forum.
Bottom distance on the lower splitter vent is 95cm
Distance on the lower part of the grille is 70cm.

That means I could fit a 37 inch light bar on the bottom, and a 27 inch on the grille.

Now I have to check if a curved style fits better than a straight light bar.

There is only one LS400 that I know of with a light bar.


Light bar. Lightbar, LED

That's a 37 inch but the distance beween vents on the 1995 LS400 are a little different compared to the 1999 model.

Some of my favorites with lighting:


Can't speak for reliability and there are enough stories where the complexity brings some issues. When they work, they are pretty nice.

I am looking for a type of lightning solution designed for night driving. Not for show.
