Hey there I just got a set of Hellas and was planing on putting them behind my grill but it won't fit due to the trans cooler so I'm looking for a new spot I have a 05 edge 4x4 if any ones got pics of there lights post them up thanks

 

They should fit. I had Hellas behind the grill of my 01, and I've seen guys with Hellas on the 04+ trucks.

Did you try mounting them upside down? (The mount would go through the top of the header panel)

 

Yep did it the trans cooler is in the was

 

and the edge grill sits in to far

 

Check out my thread on Hella Lights maybe not what you looking for but hey

The post to reference --> This post

Wait: He is a manual. The trans cooler needs to be relocated. My bad

 

You should be able to get it for around 130 in the USA. Check the Westin Website for a dealer near you. I paid 185 in Canada from an online distributor to avoid duty extra border fees so it was still a great price for me.

 

This is a next-to-no-cost option....LIGHT TABS! These were very very popular years ago and offer a no-drill installation and use existing bolts in your 98-05 bumper.

I've made several sets using 1/4" x 1 1/2" flat bar heated and bent into a 90, drill holes, done!




Add a crossmember between the two and now you've got 4 mounted in a clean, neat, and totally reversible fashion.

 

could also do hood mounts. although those are best for spot lights only.

 

What IF ?

You cut holes in the grille and allow the face of the lights to protrude through.

 

that's not going to happen

 

Get a waag bar. And problem solved

 

Ok so no holes in the grille, I know there is one made for the f-150 but do not know about the Ranger.

A lot of people on this site have the lights behind the grille and say there is no interference with light output, so do it.

 

The biggest problem with lights behind the grill is heat. Light output isn't a problem, but plenty of folks have melted their grills

 

Well mine won't fit so there going on the out side some how
