How do you intend to control them? If you want a separate switch it's a little more complicated. The easiest way would be to tap the positive wire into your parking light in the front. The negative in a car is a common ground, so you can tap the neg. wire to any bare spot or screw on the frame. Is the 2010 lamp in the headlight housing now? This way they will come on with your parking lights. I have to agree with the others though, I'd be careful with a mod like this. It can look really cheap depending where you put them.

I would agree with the others regarding "taste".

I would also mention that led strips mounted on the front (grill or otherwise) would attract unwanted attention from the local law enforcement...
