Added some lights behind my grill

So, got bored and did this, cost around 50 bucks. I used a no-name 6" light kit from advanced.

Looks Good!

I was loooking at some today at Advanced. They had some KC chrome type and some cheaper plastic ones.

Do you have before, during or after pictures? Did you do any bracing or just mount it to the crossmember behind the grill?

I think I know what lights you got. Are they mounted upside down?

I was thinking of installing some this weekend, but want to make sure they are centered on the blue oval. If mounted on the horizontal piece seen through the grill, I want to say that's FRP and might need some bracing.

Did you wire them directly to your factory light switch? Or did you mount a separate switch?

I used a separate switch with power direct from battery. Its temporay though, im gonna get a nice switch and draw power from the fuse box eventually but I havent decided what switch and how I want to do it.
