HID's and heat

Ive never installed lights behind a grille before, had plenty of old school KC's up front on many vehicles. Im looking at putting a couple HID's behind a grillcraft MX series. Will heat from the light onto the grille be a problem? and how much light will I lose from the grille blocking. I just like the clean look of the lights behind the grille

 

Won't have any issues at all. Had this setup for a few years now. Haul bikes and a boat without any problems. I know the grillcraft has mesh that is smaller so can't compare. But the bigger holes in my grill don't block that much at all.

 

I like that setup, what grille is that?

 

It's actually a grill from a member here who was making them for a short time. Responded to your pm.

 

You wont have any issues with heat and you wont notice any loss in light. Do it
