i utilized the holes in the grill mount bars. i made a 3" x 3" L shaped bracket, with 2" slots on both sides, that way i had a ton of room for adjustability. I bolted the l bracket to the grill support, then the cube to the L bracket. i snugged everything down, adn adjusted my light where i wanted it. then tightened everything down good. ran the wiring up thru the hood liner so you dont even see it. i can send a picture of the bracket if needed. but its simple. i work at a fabrication shop, so had our guys laser cut it, then use the press brake to for it to 90 degree angle. then i painted it with several layers of black. looks great!

Yup, I started this thread so people could post the backs of their grill and how they actually mounted their LED cubes. I like your idea and think I might do this exact set up.

Painted them black and mounted them. I used the existing holes out of laziness, but they could easily be drilled out to locate the bracket as desired.

i will take a few pictures when I get home from work today and upload them. i was also thinking of making one side of the bracket 2x as long that way i can mount to pods side-by-side, a flood and a spot

I just didn't have any time to make a mount I liked so my son did that one day while I was at work! I liked it so much I left it!

Does anyone run their lights in regular traffic? or do you treat them like high beams and use them only when there are no other cars in sight.
I find that my Rigids are way too bright to use in regular traffic and only shine them as high beams when there's no traffic in front of me (in either direction)
i'd like to install additional "less-bright" driving or fog lights and be able to keep them on all the time when driving at night.
