just bolt them to your bumper, in front of your grill.... trust me you won't be dissapointed.... these suckers shine far, i'm running 4 on my rack and if you put them behind the grill they would almost do nothing for you

yeah thats what my dad told me an hour ago so what i did was this remove grill, mount light through little slots at the top so that when the grill is on the letters j and p of the jeep symbol are cut off so when ur in the jeep u can see the lights stickin ove the hood which was the exact look i was goin for, i will post pic later.... for now gonna try and brace em up so they dont crack off form a tree bracnh or somethin. any ideas my dad doesn't want me to drill the bumper. im thinkin just put a piece of metal before i put on the nut so it just compresse the black slits insted of tryin to push them apart.

Jeeps come from the factory with lights mounted to the bumper.Do you have little rubber plugs on yours?If you do that is were the factory fog lights go.look at mine on my profile pics.The plastic grill wont hold up to those lights,it will break.

miens a 98 any things in the cherokees up from 97 did not have lights on the bumper but under them in the corners, i triede to tell my dad it would crack but he wont listen so i guess when the lights breaks off then he can pay the money to get a new grill and set of lights if hes not gonna listen to me they do look pretty sweet though where they are mounted. and they way my dad andi mounted them i can can remove them if need be and there wont be two holes in the bumper, even thouhg i dont mind holes in the bumper. if i do put tehm in the bumper how far apart should they be?
