That's the only 2 pics I have of my wunna-be KCs; probably the same ones you have, lol. But upgrade the wires and throw some 100watt bubls in there, and they work fairly decent.

Just make sure you mock up the fit before you go drilling holes in your bumper; you want to be sure you mount the bracket far enough forward so that the back of the light dosen't ride on the grill, or make it to where the lights point down becuase the grill wont let them tilt back far enough... mine point slightly down beause I use to have a different, smaller set of lights mounted in the same holes, and those holes were drilled a little too far back on the bumper.

But these lights will be history when I install my light bar and some Hella's...

I just used a piece of angle iron from Home Depot for tabs. (Temp job) If I remember right they are Hella 550s. Could be wrong

I think by far Scuba has the slickest install, but you'll be doing a little custom fabbing and tweaking to get em to fit like his...

scuba - i like that setup but don't those lights melt the plastic of your grille? seems like they would if you have them turned on when truck's not moving. might be perfect behind a metal satoshi grille mod.

Drill two holes in your front bumper, and mount them like that.

I used a bolt on lightbar and roll bar for light mounts...

the housings themselves are plastic so i doubt they'd melt anything...well at least my hella's are. and they put out some heat
