I haven't measured the distance yet but I thought this might be an interesting addition to a KK

It's an interesting idea but my first thought was, Wow! That's going to restrict airflow! Only 2 of the 7 slots are left open. (And you know that on our KK's we only have 5 functional slots.) This might lead to easier overheating of the engine and transmission under load on hot days. I tow with my rig, so I wouldn't want anything reducing the airflow over my radiator.

Alternatively, open the two outside openings in the KK grille, and you have spots for those lights, without sacrificing air flow.
