    I’m wandering if anyone has tried and successfully mounted 6-8 round lights behind the grill? Is there enough room and how did you mount them?

    Why would you want the round lights versus a light bar behind the grill? Just personal preference?

    I’m looking at stuffing some 70 watt HID rounds in there for some better bang for the buck in terms of true light output. I’m thinking the fitment would be less of an issue than possible overheating due to reducing air flow over the radiator for stop and go. I realize light bars would be a more practical solution but I’m just curious if anyone has.

    I think there is a guy with a 2md gen with 4 or 6 lights behind the grill, looks really nice.

    There’s room for the lights. I was even envisioning trimming the grill and having them mount flush. Again, I’m just seeing if anyone has played with this idea on here?
