Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner M2 Frame Light Bars & Filler Panels
Will these light bars and filler panels fit my specific Freightliner M2 model year?
Most of our Freightliner M2 frame light bars and filler panels are designed to fit 2003-2021 M2 models, including the 106 and 112 variants. However, fitment can vary based on your specific bumper configuration and any aftermarket modifications. We recommend checking the product specifications for your exact year and model, or contacting our support team with your VIN to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
What material are these light bars made from, and will they rust or corrode?
Our Freightliner M2 light bars are typically manufactured from either heavy-duty steel with a chrome or powder-coated finish, or polished stainless steel. Steel versions feature protective coatings to resist rust and corrosion, while stainless steel options provide superior corrosion resistance for harsh weather conditions. Each product listing specifies the exact material and finish to help you choose based on your climate and maintenance preferences.
Do I need to drill holes or modify my bumper to install these light bars?
Most of our M2 light bars are designed as bolt-on replacements that utilize existing mounting points on your bumper. However, some universal or custom configurations may require drilling. Each product includes detailed mounting specifications. Filler panels typically snap or bolt into place without modifications. We recommend having basic hand tools and following the included instructions for proper installation.
Can I mount additional LED lights or accessories on these light bars?
Yes, many of our Freightliner M2 light bars come pre-drilled with standard light mounting holes that accommodate 4-inch round LED lights, marker lights, or other accessories. Some models feature welded tabs or brackets specifically designed for light mounting. Check the product description for the number and spacing of mounting points to ensure compatibility with your planned lighting setup.
What's the difference between light bars and filler panels, and do I need both?
Light bars are functional mounting surfaces that attach to your bumper and provide locations to install auxiliary lighting. Filler panels are cosmetic pieces that cover gaps or openings in your bumper for a cleaner appearance. Whether you need both depends on your bumper style and goals - some drivers use light bars alone for functionality, while others combine them with filler panels for a complete, professional look. Many of our customers purchase them as sets for the best aesthetic result.
