been done :) Opinion is if you like it then go for it!!! its your truck, do whatchya gonna do.

Putting lights in the grill area can block airflow, it can also be a PITA to get them in there depending on the light, but lots of people do this all the time.

Thats my opinion.
 






My opinion is you would need to put the lights under the grille and also install a billet grille, not a speed grille.
 






how youd you open your hood then? and if you have a bug deflector then you wont be able to get your fingers under the hood if you make that kind of a hatch

That actually looks pretty cool.
But as you say, the contrast with the white might be what does it.


All ready did it, ill get pics tommorrow when its light, the contrast worked out perfectly seeing the outter casing is black on the lights and so is the grill, ive decided to keep the grill in i had and just paint it black to metch the exterior palns.....



:D :thumbsup:

moose rules 2006
 












nice ranger....my grill is done diffrently more toward the end rather than the middle.
 






Moose do you own a camera and are you elite yet?

:)

If you own 06 for this mod then I get the entire milenium!!

Sounds nice lets see it!
 






what......410 you just confused the hell out of me. Im an elite due to my outstanding write up on painting the stock bumper....and yes i own a cam how do you think i posted pics of my truck.... and whats the o6 melenium talk.
 






Sorry it was late and I had been suckinggas fumes for 3 hours
You said you rule 06 because you pulled off this mod. If thats the case I rule till about 2012 :)
Post pics of your grill mod and if you are elite why do you not have an avatar already?

Geesh get with it man! (teasing)
 






I want an avater of a moose, but some people said no..... as far as the you rule to 2012 i rule till the eath exsploded and everything melts and seeing i believe in rencarnartion as a earth giving creature ill be here till that happens.....
 






you or your truck those are the rules, you could photo shop a moose into a picture of your truck :)

Still though i see no pictures of your grills
see you in the next life! I will be re-incarnated as a ford.
 












Im at work I cant post pics till i get home.....what about a road sgn of a moose, its automotive and its a moose...
 






That grill setup, makes it look like the new mustangs... btw
 






in post 1 of this thread he said "a Shelby look" so I am pretty sure he realizes this is a Mustang ish mod :)
 






The more I look the more I wonder what this would look like in a Mounty grille, blackened with just relief holes for lights?

It is growing on me fast

okay so I see the examples on that light force website or whatever and I see the ranger with the lights behind the grill but still no pics of Mooses grill mod???

I am still trying to figure out how to get my HUGE PIAA lights on the front of the Ex, I think the only option I have is to cut into the metal bumper hehehehe should be interesting, these lights are friggin HUGE!!
