    I'm interested in how these lights were mounted on the grille, I want to mount some lights I have and don't want to spend $60 for ditch light brackets.

    Should be quite simple to make something that attaches to the radiator support

    You could make it one piece or one for each light

    First just figure out where you want your lights

    Putting them there I would keep them to the side closer to the head lights

    Then it depends just how the lights attach to the mounts



    Remember the bigger they are the more air flow into the condenser and radiator your going to lose

    Right. Well I'd want them as flush as possible, I wanted to put them on the far sides of the grille.

    If you were close I would be glad to help .

    I just take some measurements figure out if doing this was practical

    Sometimes it turns out to be more expense then the gains are worth

    make what brackets I need

    I'm looking for ideas though, like pictures, or homemade ideas. I'd like them to be on the of the grille/bumper, and then close to the headlights. They did come with a mounting bracket, but I need someplace to mount them.

    And that is very kind! (offering to help if closer)
