I've thought about it and looked at it for a while and there is really no where to put them that they wouldn't be in the way.

If you were real good you might be able to fit them on the very outside edges of the cowl in front of the windshield wipers.

My lights are bolted to the stock roof rack, with the wires running along the inside of the rack. And I garuntee my two round farm implement lights are brighter than those 4 bajas, and I like the contrast to the box body.

Default homemade light bar

i made the light bar on my xj with a piece of steel u-channel


---Damn you trees--- looking for a set of bolts for fender flare

the light bar bolts go thru the holes on the roof rails, very handy
