I want to put a set of driving lights behind the grille in my truck. Ive already got the lights, wiring, etc and just need somebody to make a bar for the lights or work with what Ive got (I cut a green fence post to fit but it flops over a bit) and wire up the lights (without the relay so I can turn them on when I want to) and hide the wiring (Ive got wire loom). Any takers? Im usually free on Saturdays. Im willing to pay for it and I can even bring beer if necessary. ---

Well Im thinking I need somebody with a welder and/or plasma cutter to make the bar/bracket. It mounts to the inner headlight bolts and is a clear shot across. The bar I made is great except its not rigid enough. ---

All Ive got is a green chicken wire fence post with holes drilled in it and a set of 6.5" Hella lights. Here’s the basic idea: [[Album] KC's Behind the Grill ![](https://i.imgur.com/D65B2.jpg?fb "KC") ](https://imgur.com/a/OASYA/1) ---

I got all excited thinking you were throwing some emergency lighting in there for like a volunteer fire dept or something. I get to light up the Z :D. And yeah, +1 to the melting thing. Saw it happen to a friend’s car once, it smelled awful. ---

I’d do it if I wasn’t at school. Seems like a pretty easy project.
