    What are you guys doing as far as off road lights? I dont have a light bar or bull bar and was thinking of mounting some lights in my grill (like this photoshop I did)
    Tacomephotoshop1_089952ae4bb016edda7697f0bf80ee4fdbc91085.jpg

    My idea is to cut the grill and mount them sank into the grill so they look flush from the profile perspective.
    But I am not sure 1. Which lights to use? 2. If anyone has a better idea where to mount them? 3. What do you think of how that would look?

    I have seen some hella 500s cut into a 2nd gen grill. Looked great. I don't think our grills are big enou for that though.

    As far as affordable good lights. Can't go wrong with the hella 500s especially if you HID them

    The hellas and the pro comps are the only 5.5" lights ive been able to find that are excellent quality for the price. They run about the same price, but the only thing I like about the hellas more than my pro comps is they are thinner. As close as the radiators are to the grill in theses models, I'd say the hellas are the best bet. If you can find a way to mount them, that would look sick!

    Ah I can't take it, this biznitch gettin a lift by Christmas probably. Thanks Austin for the help there!

    I'll probably go around 2"-2.5" cause I want her in the air just a little. i'm gonna be ridding on 31's though because I just upgraded from 28's to these and can't afford another set of tires and even more of a power loss(3.91 gears:mad:)

    If your gonna actually be using them off road id say just skip the cheap stuff and get nice lights. I sold my hid hella 500s because they werent enough for me. So im saving for hella 4000s or an led bar
