Behind the grille is nice but why would you want to hide such beautiful lights. Get a light bar, can hold 4 lights and display them proudly and brightly it's what I did but then again I have bad taste

 

Considering where you live, you'll get no arguement from me...

 

I have the honeycomb grille on my truck so I should have almost no restriction on my light output. I'm just not sure if that kit from snappy lights is a good deal or not

 

because you guys he has a 2001 ford..completely different body style.

when you have the grill off, go ahead and paint it black

 

I don't think they are listening to ya...

 

Hey man I have the Hella Black Magic Driving lights behind my grill. Sorry I don't have better pics these are w/ my camera and I am in Iraq so I cant take any better ones. I just used two pieces of 1/4in. angle iron cut big enough to drill the mounts and then I did a terrible job welding the thick slabs to the thin pop metal behind the grill. I am pretty dumb and this was really easy for me. I used the sweet a** wiring harness that hella sent w/ this kit and wired it to my High Beams so I don't have to worry about blinding people. I have never seen the daylighters but I think mine are pretty bright.

 

what kind of paint do you recommend?

 

anyone have any opinion on the ebay light kit? i would paint the grill but my truck is a KR and the grille is tan so, it would look funky if i painted it black

you guys think 150 watts would be considerably brighter than my stock hi beams?

 

how much space is there to mount lights behind the grill? The lights I was looking at were really deep... Kinda seems like I need a slim type of light?

Also, could you not buy some of the cheaper lower watt lights and swap out the bulb with a higher watt?

 

thats what I did. 90% of all fog light kits on the shevles today pack a standard H3 55W bulb. you can get 70W or 100W (like mine) with a blue tint. i suggest getting ticker wire too. my Hella 2020's came with 18 gauge wires. i upgraded to 100W Sylvania H3-ST bulbs, went up to 16 gauge wiring, added two relays, one fuse, and disconnect points on the pos, neg, and ground so I can take them out every month and clean without cutting and resplicing wires. dont forget the solder and shrink tubing!

 

i have the daylighters....and they're about as deep as they come... and still have lots of space

 

Just used some flat ateel from the top, i may have to do some bracing not wired yet, got them from Harbor Freight $10 each.

 

I think I got the positioning dead on
