whats the point of putting lights on the outside of your jeep?
the only practical use I can think of is pushing through a trail at night...
no offense to anyone who has light bars, but is it just kind of a fun loving redneck deal?
I dont get it

Well in NY as long as the extra lights are below your head lights, you can run them w/o getting tickets. IDK abt it being a redneck thing, id asssume most ppl use them for their prupose, to light the road/trail.

haha I like the angry headlights. I might steal that idea
well I only drive through well lit areas. no dark roads around here
and I dont think I'll be wheeling at night.
so no externals for me. they look expensive
