Help mounting some lights
I want to mount these lights (link below) to my grill to the left and right of the Ford emblem.
Amazon.com: Navigator NV-120 Utility Driving Light: Automotive
Anyone have some tips on how to go about this without buying a light bar?

I have been looking at the grill and I know its plastic but it seems sturdy enough to mount the lights with the right clamp set up, But I'm still looking for any advice I can get concerning this.

Clarify:
Are you mounting this in front of or behind the grille?
You want to clamp it to the bars on the XL style grilles?
I wouldn't mount the lights to my grille directly, clamps or no clamps. Instead, fabricate mounts behind the grille that can be used with the lights. Generally, if you can't get one that would work, you could find someone who can weld a generic bracket that you can use for cheap. It'll make he lights more stable, and won't vibrate itself loose. The plastic will flex and bow, and eventually give way.

Now when I think of it it's seems so obvious.
Thanks for the help.
