well for driving lights, I have my 10000k HID (xenon) lights in mine but the light rating that I have is really just for show, but for real output you should but some 5000k HIDs in there

Do you possibly have a pic of how they're mounted? And can you comment on if being behind the grille really causes any loss of light? I personally don't think it would be enough, plus, sooo many trucks here have their lights mounted behind the grille, litterally hundreds do here in Anchorage, so I figure the loss of light can't be that great...
