Hose got offroad lights lights behind their grille? I've seen some people with them and just curious what kind and how do I put them behind grille

 

I've got em. Just use a set of round 6in offroad lights of your preferred brand (Hella 500s are great because they are super thin). To mount them you just have to take your grille off, use a right angle drill to put mounting holes in the plastic bar back there(space them evenly so they don't look half *****ed, I made them sit an inch away from the ford emblem on each side, and also make sure that you put them far enough back on the bar so they don't rub the grille) , then you run all your wires into your cab and hook up power and the switch. and be 100% sure that they work before you put the grille back on, this will save you tons of cussing.



I like them because they are just kind of peekin out on my Lightning grille.



Here they are at night with my other lights



Heres how I mounted my switches so I wouldn't have to drill into my dash.

 

I got hella 500's too great lights got them on eBay for like 60 bucks brand new with wiring harness great deal

 

My grille mounted fogs are LED. They only consume 0.5 watt each, so I wired them into the parking lights. They're not KCs or Hellas, but adequate for street use. More for show and effect (Hyper White LEDs have the same color "temperature" as 6000K HID). Mounting on the lower grille "shelf" was easy. I just used a long 3/8" bit, and used the mounting kit that came with the lights. So, for $20, I got the look I wanted.

 

Perfect position behind the grill. How did you mount them?

 

I originally mounted them on the middle fiberglass plastic whatever it is bar behind the grill but they weren't very sturdy so I turned them upside down n mounted them on the top plastic piece n drilled straight down through the top so u can see the tops of the bolts when u take off the grill .. I think drilling them that way is ten times easier n takes half the time

 

I thought they looked like they were mounted upside down. Best way to do it I think, looks great!

 

Thanks man Worst part was when I put them in I seen how bad my headlights were from the Florida weather down here so I had to go grab a new pair of headlights off eBay

 

If you get regular bulbed driving lights make sure you use a 5 pin relay. When I get home ill post up pic and a diagram of the correct way to wire it up safely. If you wire the power directly to the switch you could burn up the switch. I also put 115 watt bulbs in the lights or 155 watt I don't remember. They are great for people who run with there brights on. They are almost as bright as a pillar spot lights

 

I have four behind my grill and I love them and its easy to do
