Same Clean Fit, More Focused Output: 40" PRO for the Bronco Raptor

[mandrautomotive]

Hey Bronco Raptor Forum,

We recently shared our 40" SLIM setup, so we wanted to show the other option for anyone looking for a step up in lighting performance — the M&R Automotive 40" PRO Light Bar for the 2022+ Bronco Raptor.

Both setups use a curved 40" bar that sits cleanly along the top of the factory bumper, but the biggest difference is in the optics. The SLIM uses a spot + flood pattern, while the PRO uses TIR optics with a spot + driving pattern for more controlled light, greater efficiency, and additional distance.

A few details on the PRO:

• 40" curved PRO light bar
• Fits 2022–2026 Bronco Raptor
• Spot + driving beam pattern
• TIR optics
• Choice of white or yellow main output
• Amber DRL backglow
• Clean bumper-mounted placement
• No cutting or drilling required
• Uses factory openings and hardware
• Vehicle-specific powder-coated brackets
• Lifetime warranty
• Off-road use only

If keeping the setup clean is the priority, both versions accomplish that. The PRO makes more sense if you're looking for more focused, efficient output and additional reach after dark.

For those deciding between the two, what's more important for your Raptor — the value and wider flood coverage of the SLIM or the added performance of the PRO?

For anyone considering the M&R Automotive 40" PRO Light Bar for the 2022+ Bronco Raptor, here’s an install video showing how the bumper-mounted setup comes together.

It gives you a closer look at the mounting process and what’s involved in getting the curved 40" PRO installed while keeping everything clean and tight to the factory bumper.


Hope this helps anyone considering the PRO setup or planning to tackle the install themselves!

Just installed the 40" Pro curved light bar, 2 thumbs up to M&R they nailed it. Shipped fast, fit and finish is perfect. Install was quick and easy. 10 mins to install the bar and run the wiring. Another 15 mins to make the connections. Used the Aux switch wiring against the firewall. Factory wirers are short and the angle was awkward but there was enough room to get them connected. White light are strong and powerful and light up the trail. The Amber DTR lights are a perfect accent to the factory amber running lights. All in All - great product and value. KB

Appreciate your detailed feedback and we’re glad you’re enjoying your lights!

Just installed mine yesterday, super easy installation and wiring process. I bought the the amber instead of white, since I’m more concerned with snow and dust where I live. The lights are really bright and cover a large area. I’m very happy with them.
