Lights in Grill

So i have had my old xlt grill and hella 500 lamps just laying around in the garage. I sort of got tired of the HD Grill, and I really like the Hella Grill but its way to $$$$$$$. So i decided to make my own. Doesnt look the same but i think it gets the job done. I have H.I.D. on my truck so i have lost my high beam so i can use these lamps to due the work. They are not wired up, but i just did a quick fitment. I gonna see how they look with the Black Magic ones but i had these laying around so i tried them first. What do you guys think?

I like your new grille, the only thing I'd do is paint the bolts.

Id mount the lights behind the grill or find someway to mount the flush with the front of the grill and cut out a cirlce. The way you have it done just kinda looks quick and thrown together.

No I don't like it. You should send it to my house instead of using it on your truck

I know Street Scene makes a grill with 6" lights and I think it goes for about $350. But ive also read that it is a pain in the a$$ to install. Still looks good.

I deff like your setup though... great work!!
