We’ve been playing around with a possible lighting idea for this section, but still very early and mainly trying to figure out whether people would actually want something here in the first place.


💬 Curious what you guys think:
  • Is this actually something you'd want on the truck?
  • Would you prefer amber lighting, or would you go with a different color?
  • Should the lighting design stay subtle and clean, or lean toward a more aggressive look?
  • Would you be okay with drilling if it's required for the installation?
Would rather hear honest opinions now before we spend too much time going in the wrong direction.


We’ve also got a Mabett group going where we share early product concepts, testing progress, and upcoming product updates:

yes. please. amber for me. i'd like to see different options regarding styling. I don't mind drilling because I have to swap my hood anyway. I'm ordering the Seibon carbon hood. The TrailHunter does not have a hood scoop.

Lighting in this area would be a fail. I have no doubt some might find it interesting. But true off-road enthusiasts would find it gimmicky.

Not the place for lights IMHO.. I am actually a fan of the hood scoop ( no judgements please) I think it would make the truck look silly.

Honestly, would be kind of a fun/funny location for like a 6" (or however wide the hood scoop is) spot beam.
