    Just put hids in those hellas. I personally I like the look of the rounds lights so much better. If you want a bar just get a 40" to run across the roof...Well thats what I would do anyways.

    I would mount it on the underside of the tube bumper below the hellas. And cut out a rectangle in the plate for it. Would look sick;)

    Yeah I'm already planning to add the light bar on the roof. Just wanted to see how to add the light on the bottom.

    I'll try to add pictures when I get home, but if you click on my build thread I have pictures of how my led bar is mounted on my tube bumper. Just two simple brackets welded right on.

    And looking at yer picture, looks like that plate is angled pretty good. So you might want to weld the mounting plates at like a 45* angle towards the radiator. That way the bar sits flush and doesn't stick out the plate too much. I would line it up to where the top of the led bar sits flush with the plate, and the bottom of the led bar will only stick out like an inch or so. Or back even further and put a mesh grille in there. Just some ideas...
