Default Who has halogen lights behind their grille?

Question for you, have you had any melting issues? I plan on using KC HiLites 57 Series long range lights to augment my medium range HID's. I plan on leaving these halogen but using 130 watt bulbs.

Has anyone had issues melting their grille when using halogen lamps?

Yourr the only one that I know that has them behind your grill!

I'd be interested on this also cause I got some spare 150 watts off road lights I thought of putting behind the grille also!

Mine are HID, they run far cooler than Halogen. That's why I'm asking.

You're right, and these are second generations. A 100% different truck.
