there is a link to one....fabtech makes one, nfab makes one.......it's all up to the person....i almost put the lights behind the grille and i'm kinda glad i didn't because it just seams to be to much of a pain to mount then then they are behind the grille so you can't get all the light out.......like i said it's in the end up to the person

I ordered a new grill (honeycomb style) for my truck so it should really be able to see a ton of light and really add some looks.

I like the stealthness of behind the grill lights. It's like having a hidden weapon for getting people's attention - for those who occasionally need it. Or for actual driving.

Ya man, it'll look a lot better with that honeycomb grill, i plan on doing the same thing to mine. I can see that your stock headlights are really "oxidized" or whatever you call it, nothing a lil wet-sanding and buffing and polishing can't cure though.

The lights would look great behind a honeycomb grilld. I have a honeycomb grille on my 97 Lariat. If I had the money I would probably do the same thing.

Well if you washed your truck you wouldnt need extra lights, so what is the point in putting them behind the grill???
