honestly why not just put them in front of the grille? They will light up better without the grille obstructing them

1. There is no where to mount them.
2. the naked eye could never tell a difference between light output.
3. If someone wants to steal your lights,it takes a lot more work to get them from behind the grill.

Putting them behind the grill looks better

Less chance of theft and damage, plus the light output is minimally affected.

well theft isnt that much harder, but it does make it a little more difficult to steal.... cause if the thief really wants them he'll get 'em haha but i would rather have my lights behind the grill, just doesnt help that i have the 3 bar grill and not a honeycomb
