Default 6" driving lights behind grill

hey i have a 2001 xlt and was thinking about putting two 6" hella 500 ff driving lights behind the grill. i've seen people do it but heard there's a little trouble squeezing them in. if anyone has done this before, please let me know how

i was going to use the hella 500 but couldnt get em to fit where i wanted so i went with the hella black magics. i had to fab up some brackets and mount the lights at a 90 degree angle. took some work but with a welder and some scrap metal it went well and looks good!

theres no brackets that i know of. i just made some and welded em to my core supports. just take some 1/8" by 1 1/2" strap and bend it into a bracket, drill some holes and bam! haha
