If you search here you will find a number of ways to mount them, some used the top and bottom of the grille itself, another replaced the light bolts with longer ones and used the rad. support.
I did to bottom grill mount area, check my pic's. If I was you I would also do a horn relocate (very easy), this will clean up the front area, especially around your new lights.
