Light mount ideas

Alright guys and gals.
I just ordered these lights (Duallys (Set of two)) for my truck.
And i have no fcking idea where to mount them. They're 3inch by 3inch.

So if you lovely people could help me out and give me some opinions on where to mount them id love you all.
Heres the front of the truck:


Some side notes, the spaces in the grill are too small for the lights. I could do some work to fit em though.
Where the stock fogs are, is getting a big *** 20inch led bar from the same company when i have the cash. So im not putting these lights down there.

So, any ideas?

Thanks!

Pull "A Toyota" and put the fog lights on your mirrors .

I think they would be great back up lights though. Take lots of pics showing how they light up the world

It would work indeed. But look awful. Haha im trying to mount these in the cleanest fashion possible.

On the bumper, where the dip for the U starts (where the grill is) how about mounting em on the bumper on the farthest edges of the "U"? (theyd be in front of the corners of the grills)
