Some flush mounts in the bumper would look better IMO

I took a very long time to think about where to place the lights and how many to put 2 or 4. I would say just buy some lights off Amazon because it seems like all of the off road lights they have are amazing. The kit that I bought for the wiring was so simple it was a tight fit but it made things so much more simpler.

I have been thinking about adding some lights into the grill, maybe some LED strips but I want all my lights to match up. The headlights and turn signals are next.

Yes sir, that's why I posted it because someone earlier said it would be a good idea so just showing y'all what it would look like. 8 total light bars. Fill in the gaps except the middle gap where the ford symbol is.

Music how did you mount the lights in the grill? Thought about doing that on mine but wasn't sure how to go about mounting them in there where they are solid enough.

The light bars came with bolts so all you have to do is drill the holes where you want to mount them. Was kinda difficult sometimes due to the angle you'd have to drill at. Some of the bolts also had to be shortened a bit so they'd fit. Once mounted I made a custom wire harness for them so they are running in parallel instead of series. Basically if one goes out the others will continue to work. I then ran them trough a fuse and to the battery. Have never had a problem with overheating, shortages, nothing.
