Yes I saw those! It's a good idea and potentially might have to make one with the help of a friend with welder.
Just make sure you use that to trigger the relay for the light bar, not direct wire the power thru the switch.
If you're going to make your own, you could make the front bar as a slip-on with pins to the brace/bracket attaching to the front core support. Make sense?
You'll need to use a relay but you could in theory use the fog light switch on the euro switch...
Ok thanks. Do you mean like pins like a quick release for taking the bar on and off?
Ok thanks. The euroswitch would be nice and clean. Part of me also likes the idea of a complete separate switch in regards to safety. Just like avoiding a switch malfunction and blinding someone.
Hey awesome thanks for this!My son did this on his 2006 Golf. He mounted his to the bottom of the radiator core support. He did mentioned he had to cut the brackets down a little but he did it all in an afternoon. He said he will get under the car and take pics later today once he gets off work. He used a separate switch but not sure if that is the best option. He has hit his switch with his knee before and ended up with a dead battery.
Definitely wire in with a relay, especially if you are going to use your Euro switch.
Another friend did the same thing in his Jetta. He used a relay into his high beams so his light bar came on when he turned his high beams on.
He's the pic he sent me from when he did the install.
Which grille? Where is the crash support located?
Grabbing pics here in a moment. Will likely post them and then get on my comp to resize them.
Hey awesome thanks for the post!! I've seen your car pics before thanks for all the info. I'll take a look at my light and see if I can mount the same, or in a similar mannerGrabbing pics here in a moment. Will likely post them and then get on my comp to resize them.
Its in the lower center grill. The metal bar, behind the bumper that the styrophone sits infront of.
Hard access, and not a lot of room for error; but you drill a hole and use nuts and bolts.
Depending on your light, you may only need afew washers to align it in the grill, or a whole bracket like mine(because the light mounts were shallow)
Its ran through a relay,directly to the battery; switch is located inside on the dash, next to the emergency flashers.
First pic is the old setup, two 9.5" lights, so i could point them toward to outside of the roadway. Then i went to the 20,

The read squiggly is the general shape of my home made bracket; the yellow arrow points to it... Its 1" or 1.5" wide steel.
All depends what brand/ what style mounts they use.
Ok sorry to hear that but thanks a lot for sharing. I will stay away from the core support.
