Hi all,

Need some info please.
How did you mount the lower park lights to the grill?

Thanks

The lights are not mounted to the grill itself, but to a support behind the grill.

That is what I thought. Does anyone have a pic for me?
I suspect the supports may be lost after all these years.

By support they mean crash bar. It's like 4' long and attaches to the frame rails. There are two cutouts for the lights to mount and then the bumper cover goes over it.
