I'm looking into installing driving lights that are built into the grill
,,,,anybody attempt this?
pics?

 

I would love to see this! I think it would look great

 

I was thinking about this recently too. I would like them in the lower grille on the sides of the intercooler. Would love to see it done!

I think the upper grille is too curved (top to bottom) to make the lights flush with the grille, unless you want the lights pointing upwards.

 

I remember having seen someone do this but I don't remember if it was 1st or 2nd gen...I'll see if I bookmarked it. It did look pretty sharp...

 

I was going to install them in the upper grill with a surround that will adapt the lights to point correctly. They are small HID's with spherical lenses.

Cool idea... the trick will be the execution!

 

yea .....layed up half the night fabricating an "eye socket"

Sounds cool. Would like to see the finished product.

 

Oh ok, I thought you were talking about bigger lights. If I did it I would use lights that are about the size of the OEM driving lights, maybe a little smaller.

 

I don't think there is enough headroom and there is not alot of depth either

 

Here is photoshop of the GT faux-light grill and GT light grill with matching honeycomb mesh.

 

wow! great job , but I don't think in realitity I could make that work. What I'm going to do when the lights arrive is to take a straight on photo of one. Then print out 2 photos actual size and cut/paste them on a piece of cardboard. I can play with the locations that way. I'm kind of leaning towards mounting them more close together.

 

Rally started a project like this. Don't think he ever finished it though:

 

That looks like it could work, he never finished it? There,s 8 Rallys here; which one is he?

 

Anyone mounted lights in the lower grill?

 

There was a orange Cooper Cabrio that has them in the lower grill.

any progress on your lights?

 

no ,,,I haven't received them yet got a few ideas floating around

 

I think I'm gonna fold on this idea. Anybody want to continue on the setup PM me

 

I put two PIAA 1500's in my lower grill but you need a metal grill or you will melt it

These are HIDS if anybody's interested

 

Where did you get those lights from if I can ask? I love your thought process, but I want ones probably 3x the size.

I'd snag your grill and work so far, but I have the factory aerokit bumper and that has it's own stupid grill lol.
