Default Incognito grill lights

OK i really dont like the look of the lights on the xj stock grille, so i was thinking of maybe putting 2 or even 4 of the walmart baja lights IN the grille where they are all hidden, but still useable. Is there anything in the way of me doing this? i mean would this work? What i mean to say is that i havent looked around that area to see where they would mount or anything and dont really know if they would block air or something like that, so any ideas?

If yo have AC on a 4.oL yo u will not have enough room to do what you want to do. This was done on an early XJ with the 2.5 or 2.8L engines where the radiator sits back about 6"

yea ur defiantly right about the room or space. but i tried it with some hella 500FF's they are slim i geuss you can say. they fit def alittle snug but def will work. prob a slight trim on the grill on the inside side of it. fab a bracket and make it happen..
