Grille lights- size

What size lights fit in the grille (egg crate style) of my '06?

I want the biggest ones I can fit in there.

i have a pair of KC High lights behind my grill. Pics are in my gallery. You can get a judge of the size from there. I wouldn't go much bigger. I'll see if i can dig up a part number for you.

I think i have read you can fit slim 7", i'll go with hella 500 cause they are better for HID conversion.

I looked at a set of lights at Walmart and I think theyre Hella's and if I remember right theyre $65.

mrolgren- thats exactly how I want to mount the lights.

I have a set of 6" Hella 500 FF behind my grill, and I think they look about perfect.

I found that to be the quickest and easiest method. I'll snap a few pictures for you so you can see a little closer what i did. I'm very happy with how it all worked out!

PM Me if you need any assistance I'd be more than happy to explain it all to you. Or else in the How-To section there are a couple other styles of mounts people have made.

Let me know if I can help!

the 500's look perfect, they are damn near the exact size as the headlight so that is pretty neat. personally i would have prefered to have the 700's just because they are a tad bigger and i think they would have looked a little better. regardless, with matching hid's all the way across, they look sick. i kinda want to put another set back there.
