So I had a 99 Ford Explorer before I got my Box, I kept the two HELLA lights I had mounted on the brush guard. They are the Ralleye 4009 or something? I think they are 8" or something (I'll have to check). But my question is, where/how would I go about mounting these? I'd like to recess them in the bumper, but I'm getting a body kit, hopefully with the new bumper cover, so I'm not sure I want to go firing a 8" hole in my stock bumper. Any ideas? They are pretty damn big. TIA!

 

please take a deep breath and consider putting them on ebay...looking at the rest of your mods, I'm not feeling the 8" mudder lamps.

 

Well, I guess I should be more specific. I want to mount them as driving lights, something like how these are:


Obviously, I'd like them flush in the bumper (lower), but not the rally look or off road look, I just like huge lights.

 

oic...

you know, there is a grille that handles something like this - I just don't know if it could accomodate 8" lights....

 

Yeah, I've been looking into those. 8" may be a bit exadgerated, maybe more like 6/6.5. I'd like a smooth area where the stock fog's are and to flush these underneath where the stock ones go (just a bit bigger, so I don't think it'll work )

 

you'd definitely be looking at some bodywork... but on the other hand, it would definitely be one of a kind!

 

there's also the idea of placing them in front of the lower grille, but I don't care for the look personally.

 

mine are off-road style,,, I want a 4x4 xB....

see my post in this topic..
just painted it all black - it looks WAY better...

 

I'm not into that "Just throw them in the lower grill" look, no offense at all, but I want these to look awesome if I'm going to do it. I almost need a totally solid bumper cover (no precut holes or grilles) and cut out two (whatever size they actually are) holes towards the center, lower, between the two stock grilles, and flush them in, or put them in behind the bumper. These are 7" round I'm pretty sure.
