Oh, I forgot all about the difference between round and square headlights.  Mine is an 85, so single round lights for me, with very easy access.  But that is clever of you thinking to come up from below.

 I like the idea, but even if space is available, I assume you could only
get stuff in there with single round headlights.
As soon as you have square headlights, their frames are just too close
to the radiator.
However, sticking stuff in from underneath, next to the spare
wheel....that´s not bad!
