Yeah kammy, i read that the grille is the problem. My grille is actually made by Kamei not hella. Its from way back when, its not one of their new ones, and it was a grille made specifically for cars with a/c because of the issues that the hella grilles had with the condenser. This grille had special lights that mounted in a cup via a bolt that came out the back. the light and cup assembly was then placed in the cup that was molded into the grille where it could be adjusted and the same bolt kept it tight in place. The lights were made by carello, i found one of the glass lenses for the lights but the other is missing and all i have is the glass, nothing else. And carello lights are very hard to find and when you do, they are expensiveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. haha (it took alot of research to find all of that out)
Here is the cup the light would go in:
and here is my grille and that cup goes in there haha
Now what i did was, i cut the cups out of my grill and fabricated a piece of plastic that i epoxied on the onto the backside of the grille so it would be the same as a hella grille, and it looked spot on which was great. i bought the adjusting hardware for it, got it all mounted and put the lights in praying i wouldnt run into any fitment issues and i did haha. its just lame cause i put a ton of work into it.
so at that point i realized i only had two options: move it, or find something smaller thats compatible, but like you said, id worry that the new smaller one wasnt sufficient for the system, because they made it the size they did for a reason.
