Default My 2 cents worth.

Woven steel mesh will allow more light to go through than expanded mesh.

Individual strands of the woven wire mess can be individualy spot welded..... Do you know anyone who has a spot welder and a couple of metal brakes???.

On the Ford CMP grill they very easily got around the time consuming process of welding individual wires by making a 3/4 in. sheet metal frame similar to a glass widow channel...... deep U shape...insert the wire wesh and spot weld...... and for a safety check arrange for your headlight wiremess screen to be a removable/bolted section within the headlight rectangular guard.

We can discuss over tea if you wish.

Cheers
