Damn Jose that came out great! Nice work!

Did you have to cut holes through the mesh grille in order to mount the lights to the support bars?

Keep up the good work!

Jim, I had to cut only two small openings on each side, one to allow the light brackets and another one for the lamp's wires. Thanks for the comments!!

Man that looks great. Almost like factory install. Good job.

Only question I got is are you able to re-aim the lights?

California, I used two steel rods from the steel section at my local Home Depot. Then, I bent them as needed. What you want is to build the strongest bracket possible. What you want is to eliminate any possible vibration from the lamps, other wise the bulbs wont last. I,ll check and see if I have additional pictures, if I do I'll post them.

Nope, no vibration issues. I bolted these lights to the frame.
