Now in case anyone is wondering. I ended up measuring from the hood latch to try to get them centered perfectly, I then used carriage bolts to suspend the lights up, I then used electrical tape to cover the bolts. It took some imagination, but I figured they would look better up there, then in the lower half. I did point them down, and generally I treat them like high beams, I usually turn them off when theres oncoming traffic. Hope you guys like!
