Need advice please...
I went out to install my off road lights today behind my grille...after looking there is no way to mount them like Colton did on his grille...however, there are tow opening on each side of my HUGE FREAKING evaporator coil that they will fit into...I am going to take some "L" brackets and mount them in those two pockets...which leads to my dilemma...I have a hammer drill that will get through the core support easily, but if I slip it could cost me a radiator...so I am thinking about JB welding the "L" brackets on...do yall think it would be tacky? Here is a pic of the area I am working with...
Here is my sorry version of where I am mounting them...

You could JB weld the "L" brackets in place, let it set long enough to hold the weight of the lights, mount them, and if you don't like the way they look, pull the brackets off before the JB weld is completely set.
