Default Bumper Light Placement?

I am planning on mounting some lights to the front bumper soon and thought I would poll ya'll to see which position you prefer..

I am at work so I dont have photoshop but I will post a front shot of my Jeep anyways..



I think I am going to mount them close to the headlights to keep the radiator as clear as possible.

Put em where stock driving/fog lights usually go on the bumper. Do you not have holes already in the bumper for them?

Nope there are no holes in the bumper. There are a couple of areas that look like they may be caps to cover up the holes but I havent investigated it yet. I just figured that was where the bumper mounts where attached.

I think the stockers were under the bumper. If that was the case, that would not be an ideal location, IMHO. They would get clean smooth off of my rig by an obstacle. I say to mount them in the middle portion of the bumper, just at the line of the grill. It won't block the rad too much to affect cooling. HTH!!
