I bought the same light bar recently. I love how it looks on yours. I was debating if it was going on my Jeep Wrangler or the Expedition. Lol. But where you mounted it is exactly where I was thinking about as well and I think you sold me on it lol. Where did you mount you switch and how did you run your wires to the switch?

I'm still looking for a better way to route my wires in to the cab. The firewall is real tight, and I don't see a good place to get in to an existing opening. For now it's going through the wire boot on the passenger side door. The switch for now is just wedged between the front console and dash until I get an afternoon to mount my "Bigfoot lights" switch. I haven't decided if it's going on the dash or on the overhead console. I'll post pictures when I do.

Wow, that is blocking a lot. My oval blocks some, but not quite like that.

Can the light bar be connected to the fog lights?

Sure could! Something to consider, you wouldn't be able to use your fogs on a busy road... I use my fogs quite a bit without my lightbar

I know you posted this last year, but FWIW I strung some 10" cable ties together and then cable tied my wire onto the second cable tie. Once I pulled the wire through I just cut the cable tie and removed it. The cable ties' stiffness makes it so you can jam them through that tight space fairly easily.
Not sure if it's because I have different options, but in my '03 XLT there was an empty rubber plug on the drivers side firewall. It's pretty big and is the PERFECT place to bring in wires. If you open the hood and look on the drivers side, toward the center you should see it. Just pull that out from engine compartment, drill a small hole in center and feed your wires through it. Wires will come out high in the drivers side footwell, toward the center console.
From there it's a breeze to put a switch on your center console. I have a couple there and even ran some to the overhead console . This was a bit of a pain but I also don't worry about them getting turned on accidentally up there.
My truck is at the beach right now ( and i'm not) otherwise I'd snap a couple picts. This is by far the best, and easiest place to bring wires in that I've found. Again, you may have different options than me, so your truck may have wires going through it already, but on my truck it was completely empty.
