Default Mounting driving lights

I just got mt Hella 500FF kit, and am contemplating mounting them inside the grill. Anybody have any pics on how you installed them?

Thanks much!

I measured the same length away from the sides for both lights and drilled a hole. I think it was about 11 inches from the left and right.

You have a few options. Inside the grill (which is perfect with thin profile lights like the Hella 500s). Putting them on a grill guard or bull bar or buying a light bar for the front or top.

I have them on my grill guard on my truck:

Drilled a couple holes in the fairlead on my portable winch mount:





and made my own light bar for my Jeep:
