Default Different Take on the Grille Light

A friend gave me a set of the lights for the grille. I know everyone and there brother is running them but I was looking for a way to be different ( we had Honda Motorcycle turn signals with Dietz Tanker lenses on our Freight trucks before they were cool)
I was think about mounting them in the lower grille. The Color on them is a little lass amber than the other front but they are still incandescent bulbs and will get a little closed wit hthe yells

No Nothing

Markers and Lite way Logs

Fog off

I think they look good like that, and different as you say. I've seen a handful of guys that mounted those 1" LEDs in their airdam. I'm not a fan of that, but different strokes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well after changing out the front back to LED's since the grille and the headlights got replaced because of a wreck, I think it is looking a bit better since the match a lot better with the all LED bulbs and the 6000K heads to match the Liteway LED Fogs.



Loaded down for the Dump.

And yes we did talk to Brett for the Extra switches in the new Switch Plate
Looks Like I will have to start a Build thread.

Well.... where they're mounted technically makes them bumper lights, not grille lights.

OK Robert, different take on Bumper Grille lights, I don't need as much pulling power in the front of my truck as you have so I will go my route since I don't need a plate on the front either.

Hey Ken, what do those have for mounts? At first I thought you used some of those "penny" lights that are grommet mounted.

Looks good Ken . I was thinking about duct taping a couple flashlights to the front of my 1991. I'm on a budget (poor )

They are actually Light Bolt or Bolt Lights. This is pretty close to the
Kit Kit
that my friend gave me and here they are mounted.
