hella ella ella!
so i just got my hella 500's in the other day.
woke up a lil earlier this mornin and started slaving away.
at first, i was gunna mount em regular, but the otherside wouldnt clear the transcooler.
so i flipped em, and had ALOT more room than before...but still not enough.
so i cut one of the brackets off and bent it back. and its still pretty solid. so im debating weather or not to make a bracket for it..we'll see
so this is wat i started with
what i got to after i drilling one hole...ugh, but finding that upsided down is waaaaaaaay better and makes it appear more centered in the grille
drilled a bigger access hole so the bolt would clear and it was more user friendly
yaaay! installed
after about oh....2-3 hours of workin on the wiring, and trying to figure out why the hell its not working i went in.
searched the forums.....apparently brown IS the way to go haha
and everythings still loose n crap cuz its dark and i got hw....AND i still have to find a place to mount the switch.
probably ontop of the fog switch.
and i still gotta replace that broken fog.....darn.
hope ya like it!

I just had a thought, you know how the F-150s have that new grille you can buy with the lights built in to it kind of like the Mustangs? How sweet would it be to do that to your grille with those lights. Just cut a hole for the lights and flush mount them in the grille. I think that would be bad ***. You can get a spare grille from certifit for like 30 bucks. Something to think about.

Thats not a bad idea either but dont you thing the lights like he has would give you a lot more bang for your buck? I really could be wrong I am not sure I am just speculating my thoughts
