I know it's been a while since you posted this...have you gotten an answer yet?
Whelen's Hide-A-Way strobes are meant to be put in the headlights/turn signals. You can buy rectangular lightheads that are intended to go behind the grill, and get them with white lenses if you want. I'd suggest against putting the hide-a-way strobe heads just mounted behind the grill.

Better to look @ Whelen's TIR3 LED lights. Brighter head on than strobes and less install headache. No power supply needed and they have built in flashers so just get 12 volts to them and away you go! Have fun.
