Lights behind grille
I'm thinking about mounting off road lights behind my grille, and i was wanting to know how hard it was, and also if people could post pictures of their lights with the hood open. I greatly appreciate it.

I could get better pictures for you on tuesday if I remember. I found lights I liked and then used a piece of angle iron to secure them to, I mounted the angle iron to the bottom bolt on each side of the headlights. Unless you pop the hood the lights look like they are just floating there. I get compliments on them all the time and the whole set up cost me less than $120. Try buying a set of hellas for that.........

Mine is a 06. Are you talking about the piece of plastic above the radiator or is it down lower? You will probably be best off by drilling the plastic and using bolts/nuts/washers. If you could find a sheet metal screw large enough for the hole in the light bracket you wouldn't need to drill, but I don't think I'd trust sheet metal screws going down the highway anyway...
