PIAA/KC lights behind the grille??

I am seeing a bunch of our trucks with (2) PIAA or KC lights behind the grille.




It doesnt actully look bad, especially for someone who doesnt like how the brush gaurds look on our trucks and the light bars look even worse. Anyone else on here whos doing it? The only other thing I am worried is blocking passage to the intercooler and radiator?

I don't think it would block enough air to be concerned. What are they mounting them to? I like the look & ability to blind slow drivers.

Ive never seen it done on a Diesel. There's no room for even the slimest lights. Ive tried on all my trucks. Gassers have tons of room behing the grill and bumper so much so that you can hide a 12,000lb winch like on the power wagon. Im almost 100% positive that is a pic of a gasser, also due to the fact we've never seen it done in all the years the cummins has been in the Ram. Somebody would have done it a long time ago.

Keep dreamin

I still like them on the outside. I like the look of the brush guard though.

There's someone on the dodgetalk forum that makes a bracket for mounting lights behind the grill. But like the others have said, only for gassers. No room with the Cummins.
