donkeypunch: I love the light bar in the front of your grille, but I have some questions about it. how does it attach? also if it doesnt attach to the grille and it attaches to the bumper, does the grille hit it opening the hood?

I already put a pair of hella 500s behind the grille and hella optilux 1450 fog lights above them



Dsimm87: I would have them in a heart beat if they didnt have the orange flasher in them, I like how the grey outline is not there and its black



lots of you guys painted the tops of them, but I'm not as skilled in the painting department. My truck is grey with black accessories, but the black is the rustoleum truck bed coating, it gives it a great color. So I'm not really sure how that'd look.

I really appreciate all your pictures and ideas

Thanks man. I built some brackets behind the bumper for attachment. The grill completely clears the bar and lights.

This is how I painted my headlights just the trim on the outside of the housing.

I also put LEDs in the side marker to get rid of all the orange in the housing. If you want pics of the leds just ask.

Before and after:
