Looking to see photos or videos of ZL1 front ends with dual Scanner Leds. I have seen one in the upper grill Grill area but looking to see if anyone installed in lower area of the grill.

I have mine installed in the upper grill flanking the sides of the bowtie, so it may be my video you saw. I haven't seen any others at all besides mine.

Only issue is having a Heritage Grill. The other issue is not really wanting to see Obvious LED's sticking out when off at show during the day. Do you have photos of yours off. Think I have seen video of them on

I was worried about the same thing, so I recessed mine behind the grill about an inch and wrapped each side in matte tinted vinyl film. During the day you don't see them at all unless I point them out and even then you pretty much need to be eye level with the grill to see them. Here's a couple crappy cell phone pics I just took from a low angle. Sorry for the glare, the sun is in a bad spot right now.

I thought yours were more by the groove on either side of the bow tie. I like your setup a lot. Any video?

Mine are in the slot just above the ZL1 emblem on either side of the top of the bowtie.

Video at night:

My mockup testing prior to installing on the car:

Hey Deke quick question. When installing your scanner. You did behind the grill correct? In person did you have any issues with the light being block by any slats in the grill? In the video doesnt appear so. It looks like scanner mounted behind a couple of the grill slats.

Also what did you use to secure

Looking to do this too. Getting the zl1 grille and then will buy the LEDs. Interested to hear how you did it, and which led bar you bought.
