Wanna see lights

Im gonna be installing a set of these prollay this next weekend. I wanna see what and where yall have installed aftermarket lights. I wanna put them in the bumper air holes but they are too tall. Im wondering if they will look better above or below the bumper.

You could always put them in behind the grill, only thing is you would lose some lighting, but I think they would be nice back there. Im thinkin bout trying to put some back there, now only if i had some to do it with......

Just mock up a bracket for in behind the vent holes.
Those vent holes are nice though. I duno if i would want to loose the use of them.

I always thought it would be neat to fab up some brackets for the stearing knuckles so the low lights turn with the wheels.
They would get beat on a non road vehicle though. And you'd have to make sure your wiring was good, and they were sealed up well.

i thought about behind the grill. same problem with the bumper holes or the grill. the lights will physically fit, but the holes would block some of the light and mess the pattern up.

always get a replacement grill and fab them in there. I think you could make it look pretty good and you can get our stock grills for like 45 bucks.
