Yes it has 3 LED projectors on each side. Same grill they put on the Wildtrak X over is Europe and Asia. They are currently wired to come on with high beams but can also wire to come on dimmer with low beams.
Any noticeable difference in lighting or is it more for looks?

Installed the grill today and put ceramic coating on it yesterday.

What did you do to prep it prior to putting ceramic coating on(what brand did you use)? Looks great. Just got a 2024 Ranger XLT FX4 4X4 .
I'm debating on having (ceramic pro) it done by a local shop for around $900.00 or do it myself.

I used the blue clay bar first, followed by a paint correction polish. Wiped the truck down with a panel prep to remove any polish before applying the ceramic. I used Gtechnic Crystal Serum lite for 1st coat followed by Gtechnic Exo v5. Plan on about 1.5 days if doing it yourself.

Looks good! Nice lights too. Would love to see pictures with lights on! Was it difficult to wire the light?

Looks great. Did you polish the whole truck? Anything else (tips) that you could share about preparing the truck for the ceramic coating

Yes entire truck polish and it only had 500 miles on it when I did the coating. If you're putting the ceramic on yourself just follow instructions from ceramic manufacture and pic a day when it's not humid.

Thanks, I'm alittle gun shy on the polishing part of the prep.

How was the wiring? I recently put on the nighthawk predator grill. Lights are a bit weak for daytime. But looks bright at night.
