LF170's in Grill Option 1 or Option 2?

OK, so been playing about with Gareth's pic of the LF170's installed. As you may know, I'm planning on installing them in the Grill ala Christyler.

I have everything I need for it now, just weighing up the most suitable location on the front.

So I have two options (well three I guess) but here's two

Option 1 - Very Close together, set on long range



Option 2 wider in a more traditional space, but not so wide that I have to remove the LR badge on the front Grill




Option 3 - Go wider & forget about the LR badge




All comments, good bad or indifferent, gratefully received Thumbs Up

EDITED to show Option 3. Anyone change their mind from Option2? Think my pref is still Option 2....

Option 3 would look better I think

Option 2 gets my vote as it gives a balanced look at the front there. I think any wider and it will look as if something is missing in the middle. Thumbs Up

How are yu going to mount them? Have you purchased a gen kit or fabricated something else? I'm in the same boat as you. I have a pr of 170's to go on the front. Plus a pr of 140's spare, not sure wether to mount them outside the 170'sa or bung them up on the rack Looking at your pics I think the close together option is too close. Looks very strange. I like the second pic. Seems very balanced.

You could always reposition the LR badge to the middle of the grill Question

I am sure that whilst you are cutting the grille to bits, you could transpose the section of the grill that has the badge, and mount it in the centre.

IMO close together looks pants. Option 2 makes me think Series 2 8)

Problem solved!

How about 1 x light as Option 1
and 1 x light as Option 2

To be fair, you need to photoshop a pic of Option 3.
I'd have the side of the lamps coming to the inner edge of the vertical grille surround.
Go on, give it a go, you know that's the best look?

ps. or Option 2 - with an 'A' frame

Option 4 : 4 lights as in Gareths photos.
