First off...thanks for supporting HD....2nd....you just cost me $50....i've been waiting to see an inexpensive way to mount fog lights behind the grill but wasn't clever enough by myself.

I bought a 48" piece of angle iron with the pre drilled holes. Cut it down to 40". Then it lines up exactly with bottom headlight bracket. Might have to make own whole since pre drilled might not line up perfectly. Use the bolt AMD whole from bottom bracket and fasten back up. Then just align lights in holes across bracket where you'd like and wire em up.

Damn!! Clean, simple and looks good. I want to do it but cant with stock grille. And believe it or not i like the stock one. I made mine from a Toyota Tacoma light bar of CraigsList for $75. Welded up steel tubing to a piece of flat bar and bolted to bumper mounts and leveled with my bumper lines.
