Where to put the Lights

I recently recieved a pair of K/C 5x7 stainless driving lights. Does anyone know a good place to mount them? The only place I have come up with is to mount them on top of the bumper in front of the grille. Most trucks I see have them mounted on some form of guard. I would not mind having a "push bar" on the truck if I could find one that had just the center part, no headlight wraps.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Oh, install photos would be cool too.

Try JC Whitney, they have a no frills push bar without the headlight protectors in the neighborhood of 90 bucks.

AIM, nice truck but not quite what I was looking for.

might_b_giant, thanks I will check JC Whitney.

C'Fordman, my e-mail is: rwellis@uakron.edu

Thanks for the help. I found 2 guards that might work made by Steel Horse. I am not too familiar with this company, so any opinions would be nice. Feel free to send pics and ideas via e-mail as well. Thanks Again.
