ARB Night Hawk 28 inch behind-grille bar - LandCruiser 300

A LandCruiser 300 is a car you drive far in, and often after dark – and after dark is exactly where the limits of factory lighting show first. The Night Hawk Behind Grille kit adds a 28 inch bar hidden behind the grille: nothing changes on the outside, and the manufacturer claims up to three times the brightness of the factory high beams. The brackets use the factory mounting points, so not one new hole appears in the bodywork.

Key features

• Hidden mounting behind the lower grille – a factory look with no bull bar and no protruding brackets
• Plug and play wiring loom combined with an OEM-style switch
• Powder coated and e-coated steel brackets – high corrosion resistance
• Brackets bolt directly to the body – isolated from road vibration, longer service life
• A complete kit: light bar, loom, brackets and hardware in one box
• Up to three times the brightness of the factory high beams
• Brackets use the factory mounting points – no drilling and no cutting
• Black powder coated brackets that suit the vehicle's styling
• Designed and developed in Australia

Fitment

The kit is for the Toyota LandCruiser 300. The powder coated steel brackets use the factory mounting points and bolt directly to the body, isolating them from road vibration.

A CAN-bus adapter is required

To connect the bar to the high beam circuit a CANbus adapter is required – ARB parts CANDEC and 3525050. We say so plainly, because it is a condition of the kit working on this vehicle and the adapter is ordered separately. Get in touch before you buy and we will put the whole set together.

ARB offers this kit in two variants: two 7 inch driving lights or a 28 inch light bar. This listing is the light bar variant.

Installation notes

The brackets go into the factory mounting points and bolt straight to the body – nothing has to be drilled or cut. Connecting to the high beam circuit requires a CANbus adapter (ARB CANDEC and 3525050), ordered separately.
