yes i'm pretty sure you can and please post picture of them at night. i am considering getting those exact lights and i wanna see how bright they are head on and also take a picture at night from inside your truck with only the KC's on. i wanna see how much the light stuff up! thanks man!
P.S. - expect this thread to be moved to the "Exterior Tech" section

Got a billet grille? If not, better remove that plastic honeycomb or else it'll melt from the heat...


Daylighters are pretty damn fat...I don't think I've ever seen anyone mount Daylighters behind the grille because of it. If you wanna keep your honeycomb, you're better off getting like Hella 500's that are 55w. If you want brighter, replace that grille and run KC Slimlites(basically they're skinny Daylighters).

my guess the plastic grille would still melt under the heat from the lights.

It's still plastic and the risk of melting is still there.

You might be able to fit em on your stock bumper. Not sure tho.
Sorry, that doesn't really help.

you may be able to do something like surfer 03133 did on the front of his truck, you may have to drill a hole in the back of the bumper if there's not one on your truck already. here's a link so you can check out what he done.
