For anyone that is contemplating getting an OL bar, 2 things to note, it's hard to remove the grill without hitting the bar. You cannot remove your headlights to change bulbs. You will have to get to them from the inside as the headlight setup cannot fit through the spacing in the bar.
Tommy, I have no problem removing the headlight assemblies through the OL bar. You just have to take off the plastic add on bits attached to the bar just under the headlights. Doesn't take long to remove the plates underneath and access the two screws holding the trim in place. Gives you a chance to check everything is OK and to clean up the fastenings a bit.
