Default GX470 Rally Lights

Hi, I recently bought my brother these lights from summit racing for his new gx470 (linked below). Unfortunately we are both pretty new to modding cars and I didn’t realize the lights would need a separate mount. I’ve found a few options online but everything seems on the expensive side. If you guys have any suggestions for a cheap - ideally in the $1-150 range - way to mount these that would be great! not too picky on placement of the mount. Thank you.

Where were you hoping to mount those? They are pretty big, and there's nothing but flimsy plastic up front on these trucks, you're going to need a proper mount to support that weight, in a location that still allows you to get the hood open, and doesn't block your headlight output. You're not likely going to find an off the shelf solution that has a price you like, and it doesn't sound like you're capable of fabricating your own solution.

Can you still return the lights? That might be your best option here.
