Anyone have any ideas on how to fit headlights into a mountain fit hood?

It has a delete kit in it currently and Im looking to put lights on the hood

Has anyone done it?

If its the same thickness as the brtech hood, the hood will pretty much collapse under the weight of the headlights and heat from the motor. It will take a lot of bracing with aluminum brackets etc for it to hold up. Youre better off just putting the mountain fit headlight kit in there.

X2, mnt fits lights are extremely light weight and have venting too. Also their hoods are not the greatest, like arctic said it will never hold up
