so the po did an "awesome" job of wiring up these lights onto a roof mount, which i didnt like the look/ loss of clearence/ glare off the hood when turned on.

so my solution. i took them, re-wired/ cleaned up the wiring, ran it back through the fire wall and onto the fron grill of the jeep. now i decided since no one i knew needed the rack i just cut it up to what i needed. i will need to daa feet on the side to bolt into the bumper.

* disclamer. i know it need to go down a little bit but it wouldnt stand without the channels holding it flat and even. and dont knock the tires haha they are my pass inspection tires.

 

the more i look at it the more it bothers me. im thinking i should just make a whole new top piece so i can bring them closer together. the look like gapped teeth haha. makes my xj look like a hill billy

 

Honestly i am not a fan of it but if its what you like the go for it

I do however like the bumper

 

what, if ya dont mind me asking, is it that you dont like. too far apart? too many lights up front? just the fact that your not a light guy? haha im trying to get as many opinions as i can

 

I think its the far left and far right that bug me. Maybe you could just use the two centers and keep the original 2 lowers and either sell the other two or use them else where?

 

thats what i was thinking. maybe just bunching them all closer so they will be between the two "fog" lights

 

or maybe like two up and two down... like idk how to explain it



im horrible with paint so forgive me but something like this

 

i think it would look good with the two not the bumper and the two on the top of the winch..then take the other two and turn them into back up lights thats my own opinion. its your xj so do what you like best.

 

too many lights for the front, i like 2 on the very front, maybe 2 more by/on the a piller?

 

well what im trying to get is as much light as i can fit haha. i aleardy had it wired so im gonna try and see what i can do. maybe use two in the bumper as rock lights

 

I am a light guy, Check out my photos,

There are to many lights in that area. I say leave the two on the bumper like they are and ditch the rest. or maybe move two to the rear. You have an awesome winch and bumper set up, don't crowd that with six 5 inch+ lights in that one small area

 

I'd say leave the two on each side of the winch, and if you want more put two on the windshield pillars

 

heres the thing and maybe im not explaining it right. the reason i too it off the roof it because i go through alot of tight spaces, so i want to keep the jeep as thin and as "short" as possible. plus putting them on the pillars would still give me that glare off the hood that i hate. so im just trying to use everything i already have and fit it into one space thats alteady there lol

 

drill some holes in the bumper. put 3 lights on each side of the winch. that way you can get a real good spread.

 

trust me i would do that if i had the room. it will cover the headlights it i put one more next to the ones that were already mounted. and that wont pass inspection lol
