I would be looking to mount on a horizontal surface, what exactly can i mount to behind that grille?
I was looking to mount inside due to not having it too exposed for being nicked or damaged, i'm not concerned at all about the cooling, it wouldn't even come close to being a hindrance there.
I did wonder about the grille bars 'aligning' the light though, they're not very deep so i'm hoping that'd be to a minimum.
Well, there are brands that allow you to interchange the lens, so shy of trying to get a visual on both a mounting surface and aligning the light (on) so you can get a best proper shine with minimal interference. You can swap out the outer lenses to 'spot' and get a better effect and absolutely mitigate the depth of the honeycomb grills. Some other grills like my 93' may require a bit more creativeness along with the choices of lights themselves; myself, I prefer the SRS series over the double lightbars to be honest.
Thankfully most even the lesser expensive brands allow their brackets to rotate the full 360° and you could mount with the fixture hanging securely from the top, the back or possibly from a lower position in the grill.
In either vertical mount, creativity, longer bolts, and some washers would adjust height.
