Who here has put a second set of headlights or highbeams or foglights behind the grille? I want something in the same size as the original headlights but I want to mount them in the radiator support behind the grille. I have seen it done and I liked the looks. If you have done it, what did you use for parts? Thanks in advance

I used beam style fog lights from ProComp. they are one of their pre runner lights. i believe they were 5 1/2"(around there anyways) and i just mounted the bracket to the rad. support.
here are a couple of pictures. they arnt the greatest but its all i have right now..

Check your local laws. In some states you can't put lights like this behind the grill. I did it when I was in high school with my "totally rad ride" back in the late 80's I got pulled over and ticketed for it. So before you start, make sure the local fuzz won't have a problem with it.
Otherwise it will cost you more than you expected.

it doesnt matter, my car is barely if at all street legal as is anyways and im constantly driving well over the speed limit when i do take it out so if they write me a ticket it will have nothing to do with the extra set of headlights. I wouldnt use them for lowbeams anyways, it would be kinda cool to make them highbeams or something.
