Question How do you mount lights behind the grill?

I have seen some trucks on her that have offroad lights behind the grill and i really like the way that looks. how do you mount them? and what are some low dollar lights that are good?

harbor freight, walmart, and any discount parts store usually has lights for cheap....as for mounting its all how you want it to look you maybe need to just drill a hole and use nuts n bolts thats how my old one was...
