Been wanting to do the lights behind the grille for sometime now, since I thnk it is the most badass mod you can do on these trucks. Finally picked up a set of cheapo 5.5 inch off road lights tonight from Wally World. $17 for the set, which includes a rocker switch, all the wiring and it is pre-terminated. Now, I want your opinion...I am leaning more towards leaving the brush protectors OFF of the lights and mounting them in nekkid...watcha think?

You should find a paint that is close to the color of your truck, sand and paint that chrome ring that goes over the light

I dont like the look of just the plain light, maybe if the glass was clear, than yea, but I think the light cover painted close to the color of "Ruby" would look good back there....

Not sure if you'd want them, but I've got a new set of headlights on the way and I'm putting HID's in so I'll have a set of the Silverstar Ultra's sittin around
