Default where to mount piaa's

I picked up some brand new piaa 540 series lights which i thought was a good deal for 20 dollars. Now im wondering where I can put them as i dont have/cant afford a lightbar and I already have KC's on my bumper.. Suggestions welcome! Feel free to share pictures of your light setups

Get a spare roof crossbar from the junkyard. Mount it at the front of the roof rails and hey presto, cheapo light bar!

My buddy who owns a Land Rover suggests fitting them on the vehicle and facing forwards! He was quite specific about that last point!
Don't worry, he is an *****. It's a Land Rover disease apparently...........

Got a quick pic of PIAAs on my rig here.

(Hopefully the link works) Just drill two center holes in the existing bumper and you have quad lights.

nice setup!. I ended up ditching the KC's in favour for the PIAA's, as they fit much better. The KC's were too big and rubbed on the grille causing aiming issues.

Now i just need to track down two more PIAA's..

Question.

I found a pair of matching lights but one is missing a grille. Can you buy a grill seperate online somewhere? I cant seem to find anything, its a 540 series
