Well after searching on here I didnt see much in the way of mounting off road lights behind the front grill. After some brainstorming and fab work I was able to get a set of hella 500FF mounted behind the grill.

Update it take quite a bit of adjustments to get the angle of the lights correct, due to the small space but i finally got it correct. well worth the hassle =)

I hope the heat does not distort the grill. Most off road lights are too hot to touch.

the heat with tbd since this isnt a common mod, and there is no info on the matter. I know I used these same lights on my 06 dodge ram and had no issues but again there was more clearance.

I will get a mini walkthough posted in the coming days.

but i will say your lighting options are quite limited. The Hella 500FF are the smallest (depth) when it comes to larger lights.

It was alot of trial and error but im happy with the results
