    So I'm installing several lights behind the grill and it leaves no room for my oem horn ls to be mounted in their original location. Anyone have any ideas on an alternative mounting solution?

    I ditched mine. Wired the oem horn signal to an electric controlled valve to a set of air horns. Problem solved.

    How are you going to get to the free-spool lever on the winch between the lights in the bumper openings and the lights behind the grille?

    I tried to put a lightbar behind my upper grille and there wasn't room to reach down to plug in the remote.

    I don't have a winch yet, but I guess I'll reconsider when I reach that point

    I moved both of my horns to the driver side fender. There’s just enough wire to make it work. You will have to double up on the ground screw for both horns and i think i turned one of them upside down.

    I mean could do something like this hide them behind that light bar even. Heck mount the horns off the bracket for the lights?
