I've got a pair of Dually D2 lights from Rigid Industries and I'm trying to find a good place to mount them. So far, I've come up with an idea to mount them behind the upper grill inserts, just inward of the headlights, for a subtle, "looks like they belong there but didn't notice them" install. The inserts would need some very minor modifications if I go that route. Although it's hard to tell where exactly they would need the modifications but I suppose it would only be a matter of mounting the lights, putting the grill in place and marking the inserts. Luckily, I have spare inserts that I could practice on. However, the vertical positioning is the only obstacle I've run into so far. If I'm able to do so, I can place the light with one of the horizontal bars of the grill insert directly between the 2 rows of lights. Although, since the bars are angled slightly, I don't know if it would affect the lights output at all. You'll see what I'm trying to describe in the attached pictures.
The only other way I can think to make them work there would be to cut out one or two of the horizontal bars and let them protrude through the insert a bit.
The other location that had cross my mind was to maybe build a small, subtle light bar that would have mounts that are bolted to the bumper brackets and come up from behind the bumper and put the lights just above and on top of the bumper. I don't know that I'd particularly want the lights to be exposed that much though but it's just another option.
Any thoughts or other ideas for light mounting options?
