I'm adding 2-4 lights off-road lights. Can't decide if I want Rectangular or Round? I thinking to do 2 on the bumper, Maybe fogs, and 2 on the Top.
On the bumper what looks better Round or rectangle? Does one work better than the other?
I want to do Stealth install up top, going with narrow rectangle or oval under the stock cross bar

i am not a big fan of square lights i like the round one better just looks i guess but after seeing these i changed my mind some they are super bright but also super expensive http://www.sidebysidesports.com/xmledofli642.html

i would go with rectangle on the bumper and try to get them in the stock location... but its really a personal preference, my jeep came with stock fog lights and i think they look fine with where they are at...

What are your lighting needs? A fog light will put the light out to the sides while a "spotlight style" off-road light will put the light down the road.

For fogs on the bumper I would go with square, better lighting off to the sides. I have two round kc spot lights on mine that were there when i bought it, here's what they look like

I have the rectangled Hella 550's. They put off alot of light and keeps the squared look of the vehicle. Your preference tho.
