i'm sure some people have, but the ones that usually do have the Honeycomb grille.

Just make sure to not use to high a wattage...could melt the grille. But definitely look into switching to the honeycomb grille.

Yeah, I've seem them behind the honeycomb a lot. I never thought about melting, i mean....ITS TRUE CHROME AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO IT. I wish, lol.
I'd have to get the whole front peace for that, not really worth it to me.

You could probably find just the honeycomb on craigslist, eay or a JY. Other Ranger sites as well.

You'd need the grille surround/outer grille and the honeycomb....or get the honeycomb and cut it to fit your existing grille shell.
Even if lights are put behind the bar style grille, I dont' see it being very beneficial because those bars are pretty darn big and will block alot of light. Now...if you cut the bars to fit lights like a mustang or a F150 aftermarket grille, that could be pretty neat.
