If I could make a suggestion, swap out the OEM headlight bulbs for the Sylvania Silverstars. They came out with the 9008/H13 bulbs but they're a little hard to find. You can get them on-line @ Autozone. If you have the fog lights in the front bumper swap them out for a set of Silverstars too (9006SU)...The OEM lights really suck & the Silverstars made a big difference.

Very easy to put lights behind the grill. I have Hella's on mine but you can find cheaper ones @ any parts store or Walmart.

I put mine right in the center of the grill and the hole was just big enough to fit the bolt. The lights are just over 7".

I just installed some Hella 500's yesterday. I also have Sylvania Silverstars headlights and fogs. Just measure the distance between the fender sheet metal and divide by two. Mark your center, then divide by two again and measure from your center line. I think it was like 11" from my center line. I can't wire worth a crap, so if I can do it anyone can LOL.
