Go to a sticker shop and have them make you one out of Dark Grey reflective vinyl. It should look like this. They really show up nice when headlights or camera flash hits them,

I don't know where you are going to find that. How about making one out of Plexi Glass and tinting it yourself? Be careful with Blue lights on the front of your truck, IIRC the only colors allowed on the front is Amber and Clear.

i talked to a local cop....he said u can have any color as long as he cant see any bulbs....it cant flash while moving but it can flash while stopped.... all it is is like a 4 foot LED tube mounted on the grille and facing in.... it looks perrty sweet at night

In Texas you cant have anything but amber and clear. Houston PD LOVES giving out tickets for those guys that put the led lights on their hoods. I've been told by a friend of mine that is a DPS officer here in Houston that technically according to the law you cant install HID's or different colored lights on a vehicle that didnt come with them. He says they over look it since so many cars out there come from the factory that way.

That grill DOES look sweet though.

Yah -- the vinyl idea like Aaron said is a good idea -- and legal and all, but if ya wanna chance it with the lights -- go right ahead and definately let us know how ya do it and give us pics of what it looks like!
