Default Grill led lights

What LED lights are you guys running behind your grille? I'm looking for a circular housing led and something that's not gonna break the bank.
I also would like the lights to mount in the middle of the grille. Not where they are up towards the top or bottom and not centered. Pictures would be great too

I have some amber LEDs to mimic the raptor grille lights, as well as some cheap white LED cubes that I picked up from Auto zone when I was bored. They came with a little control panel that makes them do all kinds of illegal things lol. Are you wanting lights for illumination or just accent lights?

I have 2 6" KC's mounted behind my grill on the bottom support bar. Just drilled 2 holes even distant splitting the emblem and they bolted right on. Not hard to mount, took me ~1.5hrs to do, including running all the wiring and mounting the switch in the cab. You can do an LED bar or LED rounds similar to the KC's. If you are looking for "cheaper lights" then getting a set of KC's (mine are the Apollo series) were I think about $100 (output is great, and I bought them 3 years ago so I imagine it has only gotten better)
Be creative, look for something 1-off. There are so many LED bar websites now it shouldn't be hard to find a company that you want to look at.
I suggest Swampdonkey lighting, Off-road LED bars, and obviously Rigid, but we all know how their prices are, but it's you pay for what you get.

I really like that looks good. I want the same exact look except with led.
