    I'm sure they will fit but the stock grill will block your light output.

    LOL!
    Might as well mount them in the engine compartment.:rolleyes:

    (Grill mod under way, and waiting for ADVMonster lights:D)

    (right now I'm driving around with NO grill and all the innards blacked out: looks better than stock:p, but I get a lot of strange looks)

    Hello - With your lightbar, what sort of lights can I mount? Is there a width or diameter restriction? I would be interested in a powdercoated bar and would like mount 2 lights behind a satoshi grill. Thanks!

    .

    Check out my gallery pics, I have two 8 inch and two 6 inch mounted in mine, even with the lights all the way forwards on the bar, they don't touch the billet grill, and that is basically the same place where the satoshi will be. Most modern off road lights you might choose are going to be shallow enough to fit without a problem with your grill, BUT, there is an additional cooler in front of my radiator as well as the horns that I had to move as well. I would measure the area where you want to put lights and check that against the dimensions of the lights you want to buy. His lightbar sits far enough back and has several ways to adjust it that it really isn't hard to make it all work. I'm sure you could fit two 8's in there without too much trouble. [​IMG]

    You can pretty much fit any off road like back there I'm sure the big light force would be too large but guys are mounting the 7" Kragen light with little modification to the space. I do know the horns will need to be moved and if you have the tranny cooler that would need to me moved for the larger lights. with the LED light bars we have fit the 20" single stack RI bar with no issues Note the LED bar Mounts are needed for that.

    Thank you both for the replies. I am considering Hella or PIAA's and leaning more towards PIAA's. I will be picking up my Satoshi first and then I will hit you back up for this. But, I promise to be back :)
