Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC120 Frame Light Bars-Filler Panels
What years and models of Freightliner FLC120 do these light bars and filler panels fit?
Our frame light bars and filler panels are designed to fit Freightliner FLC120 models from 1988 through 2000. They're compatible with both standard and extended hood versions. However, always verify your specific truck's configuration before ordering, as some custom modifications or aftermarket bumpers may affect fitment. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting our support team if you're unsure about compatibility.
Are these light bars made of stainless steel or chrome-plated steel, and how durable are they?
We offer both 304 stainless steel and chrome-plated steel options. The stainless steel versions are 16-gauge and provide superior corrosion resistance without requiring maintenance. Chrome-plated options feature a triple-chrome process over steel for a mirror finish but may require periodic polishing to maintain appearance. Both materials are designed to withstand road salt, weather, and typical highway conditions for years of service.
Do I need to drill holes or modify my bumper to install these light bars?
Most of our FLC120 light bars are designed as bolt-on replacements that use existing mounting points on your bumper. No drilling is typically required for standard installations. The light bars come with mounting brackets and hardware. However, if you're adding lights where none existed before, you may need to drill holes for wiring access. Installation usually takes 1-2 hours with basic hand tools.
What's the difference between light bars and filler panels, and do I need both?
Light bars are designed to hold auxiliary lights like fog lights or driving lights and include pre-drilled mounting holes for standard 4-inch round lights. Filler panels are solid pieces that cover empty spaces in your bumper for a clean, finished look. Whether you need both depends on your bumper configuration and lighting preferences. Many drivers use a combination - light bars where they want lights and filler panels to cover remaining gaps.
Will these light bars work with LED lights, and what's the weight capacity?
Yes, our light bars are fully compatible with both traditional halogen and modern LED lights. The mounting holes accommodate standard 4-inch round lights with single-stud mounting. Each light position can safely support up to 5 pounds, which exceeds the weight of most LED and halogen fog lights on the market. The bars themselves add approximately 8-12 pounds to your bumper depending on the model and number of light positions.
