    It's all in how and where you mount them. If you keep them close to the grill as opposed to close to the rad, they will show up better and give you better light.

    Almost exactly how I want to do mine. You do any cutting of the grill itself? How much time did it take you to cut? I'm guessing you glassed it like the typical satoshi mod?

    How are you guys with emblems attaching them? Are you just using the sticky backing or fashioning some kind of screws. I have a tacoma emblem to put on but I'm thinking that the sticky backing wont get enough grip on the mesh of the GC

    Do the lowers too to complete the look... GrillCraft is the way to go! I relocated the horns on the drivers side wall under the hood. There are two anchornuts already there. Also recommend leaving the temp switch in original position. Takes a little work to peel the wires out but it keeps everything functioning as designed.
    Good Luck, looks great!

    New crappy Iphone pics:D I am still in the process of acquiring all the necessary items for the "behind the grill" light install. I am working on a custom mounting bracket and will post up pics when done. I am going with the black magic Hellas.
