    Through the grill lights

    Can someone help me understand how these lights would attach to the car behind a set of grills ? Or can they not be used for that purpose?

    Here are some needed brackets.

    You will also need some grills like the ones on my car.

    As far as lights go I went a different route as always. I use them as daytime driving lights when I'm driving in traffic. I hope it helps the big suv's and trucks see the car a little easier.

    Simon, There is a bracket that those Hella's fit to, It is mounted to the battery box. ( I think there is a left and right bracket). (( the Hella's will face slightly outwards towards the sides of the car if they are wrong way around))
    The swivel bracket on the Hella's bolts to the bracket mentioned previously.
    You will need the 'cut out' grills as well.
    From memory the whole setup needs to be assembled prior to bolting the bracket to the battery box.
    Eric of Foreign Auto used to supply the cut grills and odds and ends for these so maybe reach out his way.
    You will need a wiring loom for them as well which is also available somewhere out there.
    Cheers

    The wire from the fuse box to the lights is in the harness, just taped back. Its the rest of the wiring that you'll need. I think Audett now carries the Kroon harnesses.

    You may also ask Eric (AFS) @https://www.autoforeignservices.com (well known SREG member here)
    He selling the TTG kit, he may help you sourcing bits such as the brackets and grilles.
    Eric's products are awesome. (no affiliation)

    Thanks all....I see I was missing the brackets - Porsche has them for $17.50 each. I already have the grills from Eric, and I had the harness and the switch, so now I am all set.
