Yes, get a honeycombe grille. Pull the grille and it's bracket off along with the upper plastic covers. Mount the hella's upside down to the upper support. To center it properly, measure equal distances from the center post which is behind the honeycombe grille. leave the plastic shroud in while you measure as well. Drill the holes where you mark the equal distance. On the upper support you will need to dremel out the hole bigger to fit a socket wrench in there. mount the lights and you may have to cut some of the plastic shround away to tighten the bolts for the lights. I will see if I have any pics from when I did it, I got the instructions from Mcpink, Very good instructions!!
