Thanks for the posts and steps you took. I'm planning on color keying mine (desert sand or whatever they call the gold color).

I didn't paint my grill, but I did put a seasonal decoration on it.

Let's see if I can get this picture thing to work.

I really like those, how is the lighting on them? Also how did you go about mounting them? I would like to put the OEM fog lights on my truck but I am not paying that kinda money for them, those look good and they are cheap!

They are only 55 watts, but they put out a good amount of light. Considering how little they cost, it's a lot of bang for the buck.

For the lower ones I drilled a hole in the under side of the bumper and mounted them with the attached threaded stud. The ones in the grill are mounted with double sided 3M tape. It's been a few years and they are still solidly staying put.

Did you hit a guy with two left feet or did you plow through a crowd and body parts from two people are stuck in the grille?

I agree, great inexpensive lighting additions!
