    They probably will but will charge you dealer labour prices. Better off purchasing your light bar and the harness and taking it to an auto electrician

    Hi. I was hoping not to do anything that might good warranty.
    The truck has forward radar for emergency braking, so would prefer the OEM does the work.
    Thanks for your reply.

    Definitely be the safest bet alright. Thought it was an older machine but if near new better to play it safe

    Aren't they technically illegal?
    I remembered something about that here recently where supplementary lights were not supposed to be above 6 or 8 inches off the road?

    edit: Found it in the SI

    44 Restrictions on height of front lamps.

    44. (1) Every lamp (other than a lamp referred to in sub-article (3) of this article) which is fitted to a mechanically propelled vehicle or trailer and which, when lit, shows a light to the front of the vehicle shall be so fitted that—

    (a) no part of its illuminated surface is more than 4 feet or, in the case of a goods vehicle registered before the 1st day of January, 1952, 4 feet and 6 inches from the ground
