Default lights behing the grille

Just got done mounting some lights behind my grille. Looks great. I converted them to hid but am waiting on a relay harness to finish the install. Let me know what yall think

Looks similar to my set up with the angle iron like that. My lights are bright enough to be blinding without being HID's.

Yah I went with hid cause I have them in my headlights and fog lights. I have them aimed correctly so no blinding on the road, never been flashed. The lights behind my grille will be for offroad use only tho. Pretty smooth install

I still havent aimed mine perfectly but they seem ok. I use them more than the regular high beams.

I've been wanting to do something like this.. How well do you think they'll work behind the h-bar grill on my fx4?

I used a angle iron 1x1 and the transmission cooler or whatever cooler that is. It's center on my truck and there are brackets on the sides I just went off that. I'll post more pics here sometime today
