Default New KC Daylighters

So ive had some kc daylighter long range lights for awhile now and was wondering were i should mount them.

I was going to drill a hole right in the front bumper but the lights will hit the grill.

So i decided to try mount them inside the grill but i really dont know the best way to do this. when you open up your hood there are two somewhat square tubes on each side(radiator mount or something) and i was thinking of mounting one on each of them. but if i tried to mount the light on its side the bolt would not go all the way through the square tube.

I dont want to get a light bar or anything considering i have just spent $5000 in stuff for the truck in less then a month :0 but the lights are all ready to be installed i have already wired them up and powered them on to see if they worked

you have the same problem i'm running into. I have the same lights (KC Daylighters #237). What im going to do is redo all those lines up front to mount them behind the grille. Since I have a sport and don't want to cut or drill into the bumper no push bars or grille guards will fit besides two that are $500.00.
