It can be rotated slightly to adjust where the light gets thrown, but it needs to mount on a flat surface. The bumper on the van is definitely not flat, and where the old driving lights were would not work for mounting the light bar.
Yes, we would be blocking some airflow to the transmission cooler, but fortunately we have an awesome Edge Insight CTS2 dash to help us know when to take it easy!
We needed to get the mounts up off the inside of the bumper enough so that the light bar would sit centered in the hole and still offer some adjustment up or down depending on the light pattern. Granted, it wasn’t critically important because the light bar can only be used with the high beams (it’s not a fog lamp). But we wanted to light the road and not the engine bay, so we measured and mathed and thingsed and stuffed.
They were just wide enough for the light bar mounting bracket to sit on and just tall enough to get the light assembly where we needed it. We chopped off some pieces.

@EricJacobs, my E450 is a gas V10. I don’t know if they have a tune for your powerstroke diesel, but I wrote about it in https://motoiq.com/tow-vehicle-5-star-tuning-update/ .
