The lights in the grill in that pic got transferred to my 3/4 ton, they are hella brand spot lights, I believe they are hella 500s

As far as mounting goes, as long as you dont have a diesel, they can be bolted right to this cross member, (dont mind the red battery tender wire lol)

Looking at them in person, did it seem like the Gatling gun shroud fit the light ok? I have the mini Gatling gun (I think) and I might have to get a bigger shroud

The gatling gun 2.0 fit extremely well, you use the centric rings and they fit SUPER tight. You really have to squeeze and kinda bend the rings to snap into the shroud and then force em over the shroud. They're a tight fitb694f413bc5431558c27511a97a5cb1c.jpg

O you talking like space wise? You could definitely fit a bigger shroud in these lights, the bowls on these are huge! c7d41ff84c4ddae46759713f33b4efd0.jpg

Those still look great. Looks like it belongs. I'll have to check out the website again, maybe go with another design
