    if not what have you done to secure the wires going over the grill?

    Could you fashion something out of a P-clip? Are you looking for originality or functionality?

    I actually used a bunch of those in my jeep years ago. I honestly don't know why, since there's like a BAZILLION holes to mount to, but I'm blaming lack of knowledge and it happening before the internet. They didn't actually stick that well, and fell off in short order

    They also nake zip ties that have the push pin style end that goes in a hole. Not original, but they work good.
