I have two LED emergency light "pods" mounted in my grille. I love the look of it:

Andrew you might want to check with local/state law enforcement before you install them.
Some take a dim view of any front facing lights that are not white or amber.

Same as for amp wires. find where your other wires go in. tape you wire to a piece of stiff coat hanger and push throw the gasket. it will seal around the wire.
