Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Frame Light Bars & Filler Panels

What years and models of Kenworth T700 do these frame light bars fit?

Our frame light bars and filler panels are designed to fit Kenworth T700 models from 2008 to 2019. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific truck configuration, including wheelbase length and whether you have a day cab or sleeper model. We recommend checking the product description for each item or contacting our support team with your VIN number to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

What material are these light bars made from, and will they rust?

Most of our Kenworth T700 frame light bars are constructed from either 304 stainless steel or heavy-duty aluminum. Stainless steel options offer superior corrosion resistance and won't rust under normal conditions, while aluminum bars are lightweight and naturally rust-proof. Some economy models may use powder-coated steel, which provides good protection but requires more maintenance. Each product listing specifies the exact material used.

Do I need to drill holes or modify my frame to install these light bars?

The majority of our frame light bars are designed as bolt-on applications that utilize existing frame holes and mounting points on your T700. Most installations require no drilling or permanent modifications. However, some custom configurations or aftermarket bumper setups may require minor drilling. Each product includes detailed installation instructions, and we note any modifications needed in the product description.

What finish options are available, and which looks best with chrome bumpers?

We offer frame light bars in mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless, powder-coated black, and anodized aluminum finishes. For trucks with chrome bumpers, mirror-polished stainless steel provides the best match and maintains a consistent appearance. Brushed stainless offers a more subtle, professional look that hides fingerprints and minor scratches better. Black powder-coated options work well with painted bumpers or for a stealthy appearance.

Can I add LED lights to these bars myself, and what size lights fit?

Yes, our frame light bars come pre-drilled to accept standard 2-inch round LED lights, with most bars accommodating between 4 to 10 lights depending on the model. The holes are typically spaced 6 to 8 inches apart on center. We recommend using rubber grommets (usually included) to protect wiring and ensure a weather-tight seal. Most customers find the wiring straightforward, running power through the frame rail to connect to existing marker light circuits or a separate switch.
