Looks like you are on your own.

One wire goes to ground the other run to the parking lights. I like these...

Not many areas to mount them like the Raptors but my guess is along the top of the grille near the hood.

I prefer it that way in real life

Already got my amber lights. Still thinking about mounting them. Maybe make bracket out of aluminum?

Drill holes in top off grill and hot glue them in from the back side

Yeah, but then again, I personally wouldn't expect the outcome to look any nicer than how it looks now. But that's just my personal taste.

If it were 4 lights and not just 3, then I'd mount them inside the grill near the top, somehow nicely on or even behind the black mesh part of the grill.
But there's no way 3 lights are going to go on there symmetrically you'd need at least 4 of them.
You could of course also get a second set and go for 6 lights all together and then mount one light inside each of the 4 upper segments, and mount one into each of the outer lower segments of the grill, or put those two elsewhere like on the bumper or the fender.

I got six.

I got six.

Great. So I would mount 4 of them like this and the other two somewhere else. Where I'm not so sure about. Probably somewhere nice on the bumper. Maybe even somewhere on the rear view mirrors.

To bad you don't have a brush guard like mine. You could mount them on the cross bar where I mounted the KC lights.

Please show us how it looks when it's done.

I would lose 25 horses with added weight.

Naaaaah, more like ten, but you could install a supercharger, 75mm throttle body and MAF, and SCT Tuner for an extra 180hp. My brush guard only weighs 70 lbs vs my 375 big butt.

Actually looks better than i thought it would. Combined with like a brush guard or custom front bumper it would probably look pretty sweet
