Off-Road lights mounted behind grille or undercarriage?
Hey guys,
I've searched and found a few people on zr2usa.com with lights mounted behind the grille.
This got me thinking, and I would like to do this setup. I have a blaZeR2, and need more off-road lighting, but I don't really like the look of lightbars or brush gaurd lights. What do you all think of mounting some lights behind the grill or hidden under the body/frame?
My only concern is how much light would actually be useful or visible from under the truck...
Any and all suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated =]

I'm considering doint the same thing, behind the grille though. I've seen someone on here with it. Honestly, as long as the light isn't hiding behind the chrome strip of the grille, you'll probably have enough light shining through.
Just need help wiring it up... I've never done anything like this and know I should have a relay and ground it to the body, but where should I grab my power?
I can either have it run with my hi-beams, or setup a switch in the cab... what would be easier?

I have seen them behind the grill & will say it has a clean look my buddy had his ZR2 like that looked good but he said worked great for on road but after off roading at night he put them on his bumper said it was not enuff light were he needed it. Good luck

THis may be a project for the summer, I don't have a source of income during the school year so my mods this summer are pretty well going to be done after I get a hold of a K&N cone filter for my custom CAI.
But when I do... should I go with four lights all hooked up to a toggle switch? I'm going for ridiculously bright lol.
I'll probably need a relay too eh?
