It's either your A/C condensor or a transmission cooler. An A/C condenser would be somewhat smaller then your radiator and a trans cooler would be quite a bit smaller. The light will block some air flow but unless you're covering it very dramatically you'll probably be ok. If you're still unsure, I'd stop by a dealer's shop and ask their opinion.Vw cabrio after put fuel injector cleaner?
thats the condenser for your ac.it looks like a radiator.Probably an oil cooler for helping to keep the oil cool. You would have to determine if the light will interfere with the air flow.

The smaller radiator is for the air conditioning unless it doesn't have one in which case it may be for the transmission check the lines on it to see for sure if it is a tranny cooler I wouldn't put a light in front of it cause the heat off of it could present a problemThat's probably a transmission cooler, they usually put transmission coolers on vehicles that tow things, like a; boat, camper, trailer, etc...You can remove it, but if you plan on towing anything you could over heat your transmission.

The smaller "radiator" is actually part of your a/c system. Its the condensor assembly that takes the heat absorbed by your a/c system and allows it to be released outside of the cabin. If you block it you might notice a decrease in the performance of your a/c system, anymore most radiator coolers are built into the radiator itself.Shall i buy ford puma or toyota celica?

The smaller radiator is for the air conditioning. Yes you can harm it, especially if you puncture it. It will be best to use a mounting kit that can have NO adverse affect on the radiator so mount it outside of the grill.I believe the front radiator is for your air conditioner and you will be safe to mount your lights in front of it, it won't hurt a thing, just don't drill into the radiator to bolt them.
it's probably for the transmission oil

Does the Nissan Titan 5.6L V-8 have timing belt(s) or timing chain(s)?
Most cars have a Rad with an Air Conditioning condenser in front (the condenser is only slightly smaller than the rad). If what you are describing is much smaller than the rad (say less than 50% of the area) then It is likely the power steering cooler or an aftermarket transmission cooler - trace the lines to confirm.Are mitsubishi galants reliable cars?
Placing 2 fog lights will disrupt some airflow to the Condenser/Rad but will not harm anything long term. All North American vehicles made by the big 3 size the rad/condenser/Power steering/transmission coolers to run severe grades with trailers in the SW US (Arizona/Death Valley). As long as you are not planning on constantly fully loading the vehicle up or pulling trailers on extremely hot days up hills you will be OK.

that is called an a/c condensor. nothing should be in the airway path of the condensor or radiator or your engine will run hotter and your a/c will not be cold. there is also a transmission cooler which is a smaller in the the front too.More Questions & Answers ...
