Whats a popular light you mount behind the grille?

Hey guys whats a popular fog light you put behind the grille??? Just another option for my grille plans???

see post #13

 

subbed. thinking the say thing. HELLA's?

 

subbed, I am putting Hella Black Magic's behind when I get them for Christmas.

 

Hellas are pretty cheap so many have them.

 

Strobe Light!!!

 

Thats what i was looking for PERFECT!!!!! and they are a great price!!!
Black when off super clean look!

 

Yeah I found the whole package for $119 and pretty stoked.

 

Any particular reason people put the lights behind the grille? Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, but I mean, for optimum light output, wouldnt it be best in front, so the mesh screen doesnt knock down any light? Or is there no noticeable difference between lights in front and behind the mesh grille?

 

How do you wire the lights in, whether it be behind a grill or on a lightbar? Calling me a mechanical novice would be generous. So I'm wondering if it's simple enough for me to do myself.

 

hella 500...like $70 at walmart, plus easily upgradable to HID

the mesh makes very little difference since they're mounted so close to the grill. the ones mounted behind my grill were brighter than my PIAAs on my bar when they were stock, now that they're HID they blow the PIAAs out of the water

 

PIAA 520s behind the satosh!

 

Im running Hella 500s behind my grill.

 

Im sur you guys all know what im up too by now this is what i am thinking using the hella black 500 with this grill blacked out with the mounting tabs welded into place would be super clean for this style im working on three grilles now

-Satosh insert
-mx style bolt in
-mx style bolt in with hella black 500 lights

I want your truck!!!lol

 

Me and a Buddy just installed 4 Hella 500's on a N-Fab light bar with a OEM fog light switch on my 07 TRD OR Access Cab. If you like I can help you with the wiring schematics. It's really pretty simple, just time consuming. Do it yourself FER SHER. Let me know.

 

Thanks I'll let you know if I make it that far.

 

Any quick tips you have? I want to wire them down to the blank I have above the cup holders, by the cigarette lighter.
