Installing aftermarket grille lights on modern vehicles isn't always straightforward—especially when the front grille houses features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), parking sensors, cameras, and active grille shutters.
Recently, Simon from the UK contacted us after discovering our COLIGHT Modular Grille Lighting System on Facebook. His question was simple:
"Will these fit my Range Rover Sport L494?"
Instead of giving a generic answer, we worked with Simon to evaluate his vehicle and find the best installation solution.
Starting with the Right Measurements
Before recommending any products, we asked Simon to provide several measurements and close-up photos of his front grille.
This allowed us to evaluate:
- Grille opening dimensions
- Grille thickness
- Available mounting surfaces
- Factory sensors and camera locations
Every vehicle is slightly different, and taking a few measurements beforehand helps avoid installation surprises later.
Looking Beyond the Most Obvious Mounting Position
Like many owners, Simon's first choice was to mount the lights in the center section of the grille.
However, after reviewing his photos, we noticed that area contained several factory components, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) radar
- Front parking sensors
- Front camera
To avoid interfering with these systems, we recommended exploring alternative mounting positions lower in the grille, where the lights could be installed more safely while maintaining proper functionality.
This is one reason why we always recommend checking each vehicle individually rather than assuming every grille layout is the same.
Finding the Right Installation Solution
During the installation process, we also evaluated different mounting options based on the shape and thickness of the factory grille.
The original honeycomb grille featured curved mounting surfaces, making it more challenging than a typical flat grille installation. After discussing several possible approaches, Simon ultimately chose to install an alternative front grille that better matched the appearance he wanted for his vehicle.
This was Simon's personal preference rather than a requirement for the Modular Grille Lighting System. Every vehicle and every owner's preferences are different, and there are often multiple ways to achieve a successful installation.
The Final Result
After carefully selecting the mounting location, Simon completed the installation successfully.
The finished setup delivers a clean, factory-inspired appearance while adding extra visibility for off-road adventures and nighttime driving.
What Simon Had to Say
After completing the installation, Simon shared this feedback with us:
"Your product is of the highest quality, built very very well, looks great, and is easy to work with."
He also added:
"These are great quality lights—not cheap rubbish that are circulating elsewhere."
Receiving feedback like this means a lot to our team, especially after working together to find the best solution for a unique vehicle.

Every Vehicle Is Different
One thing this project reinforced is that there's rarely a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to grille lighting installations.
Some vehicles install in minutes. Others require a little more planning to work around sensors, cameras, or unique grille designs. That's why we're always happy to review photos, measurements, and vehicle details before you order.
