    Did a search, didn't find anything.
    I recently mounted two ss3 pro lights with diode ditch light mounts....I really don't like the way they look. I'm thinking of doing the stealth mount that mounts 4 pods behind the lower grill. I plan to order two more ss3 pods. My question is, are they accessible at all once they're mounted and the bumper is put back on? I'd like to have the option of using amber snap on covers during the winter. Anyone know if you can sneak your hand in there at all? Maybe from the top if you remove that plastic cover?
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    Have you watched the install video?

    It doesn't look like you'll be able to change lenses without removing the bumper again

    I did. I guess I'll just have to see if I can get my hand in there somehow.

    I can get my hand to were the lights would be mounted...not sure I'll be able to get a cover on or off... I'll just have to wait and see.

    how about coming up from the bottom of the truck, and going behind the lights...just in front of the radiator?

    I just watched the instal video again, and about the 8:10 point they show a good view of the front...access looks really hard after its installed, but I like your idea.

    Have you thought about going 4 lights and having two white and two yellow?

    I did reach up from the bottom. I can get there but it'll be tight depending on how close the lights are to the grill.

    I thought about 2 amber and 2 white but don't really want to run two wiring hanesses and two switches.

    The switch and harness I have installed now for the ditch lights can be used for the stealth mount. Just need two 4 pin splitters to add two more lights. I figured that keeps things simple.
