    bump...I'm interested in this too, as I just don't like having aux lights mounted past or on the bumper. I can't figure a good solid mounting solution, not to mention cooling concerns.

    Yes people do, they use a grillcraft to open the grill up, otherwise there isn't much room behind there. I've seen many people with it, just don't remember names

    I would be very interested to learn how to install lights behind my grill as well. Any guidance/input would be much appreciated

    Well like he said you need a grillecraft grille to have enough space to put lights. After that you need a mounting bracket to mount the lights. You can buy them from a guy off here...heres a link to them...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-tacoma-marketplace/158575-bracket-hellas-behind-grille.html

    And from there on its just basic wiring and installing the relay and switch...i just ordered a grillecraft and plan on doing this soon...hope this helped
