Anyone put lights behind a TRD Pro grille?

    So I’ve been looking at pictures of people who mount hella lights behind their mesh grille and I really like the idea. I already have controls for hella lights wired into my truck since I used to have a pair on my old chrome jock strap.

    There isn’t room for those lights on my new bumper so I just put the lights away in my garage.

    So I was thinking of mounting the lights behind my current grille but I imagine very little light would get through. I looked for mesh grilles that retained the emblem (like a 3rd gen grille) but came up empty. The closest thing would be a TRD Pro grille which I was attempting to avoid since I think they’re a little overrated, but I would suck it up to be able to have effective lights behind the grille. So has anyone mounted lights behind their TRD pro grille? Or is there a grille out there that I’m missing that is mesh but still has the Toyota logo in the center?
