    This thread is a few topics, First will be a DIY way to mount smaller LED lights in your lower valence, I have run this set up through a few torture test to make sure it is stable. below are pics, its pretty self explanatory, just take a long bolt and use a backing plate to clamp it down.(first thread so forgive me if any pictures are sideways)

    I actually like the idea of the lights under the truck like that. Do they only come on when the doors are open? If so how did you wire them? I wouldn't want them that bright but it is a pretty cool idea.

    they only come on when i turn them on, thought about wiring them to come on when the doors open but changed my mind

    So you just attached the front ones to the plastic grill? Is the mount stiff enough to keep from vibrating while you're driving?
