Offroad lights behind grille questions
Offroad lights behind grille questions
Okay, I have a few questions:
I am looking for a good set of lights to mount in my grille: looking for a high beam substitute
What should i get?
Next someone mentioned to ask about proper airflow with the lights in the grille.
Anyone had any sort of overheating issues with lights in the grille?
Also where does everyone tap into for power??
I am not sure where i should draw the power from any ideas on the best way would be helpful.
Pics would be great.

Just get some off road lights and wire them up with a wiring harness and relays (usually included with the lights). they get power direct from the battery.
as for airflow, I dont think it would be an issue.

I put some behind my grill on the F150. Just used the wiring harness that came with the PIAA lights, had to extend some of the wires and used a different switch, wired in a three way switch, on-off-on/off with high beams. Made my own brackets also.
Hopefully these pics work, they where taken before I was 100% done though so I ended up making a few changes...

The fuse box that is next to Master cylinder is a good option to get power. There are a couple empty slots you can use. I use the ATO or mini ATO for my inline fuse and its right there in the fuse box for easy access with other fuses.
