Unless you want origionality, you can wire in the grill lights with a locally obtained relay (car parts store). Just buy a heavy duty relay with a 12 volt coil (around 5 amps or better). Parts stores usually have a nice one with a mounting tab. Run a tap off your parking lights to one side of the coil & ground the other side of the coil. Some of these relays only have one contact for the coil so the mounting tab on the case will privide the ground. If this happens, make sure you have a good clean metal ground. Put a battery tap on one side of the normally open contact & the sport lamps on the other side. You need to put the Sport lamps thru a relay because there is an internal circuit breaker inside the light switch & you can overload it with too many added on lights.
