Help! Where do I put them?

I have some of the cheap walmart/autozone bajas on the bumper protected by a grill guard. I also have a cornferr rack on the roof.

Would you leave the bajas and put the kcs on the cornferr or move the bajas and put the kcs on the bumper.

Kcs are 100 watt and bajas are 55 watt.

Tell me why you would pick either option.

If you are wanting to use the kcs on the road (they may be too bright), I would put them on the bumper. If you want to use them only off road I say put them on the roof they'll shine farther. Merry Christmas

Replace the BAJA lights with the KC's then use the Baja's as Rock lights

Don't think I really need rock lights at 2inch lift and still 235 tires. Plus most of my wheeling is hunting/camping related so im usually on decently maintained trails or in fields.

If I did want rock lights I also have two sets of smaller lights that would fit the bill. I am debating putting these on the racking facing sideways.

Put the baja's where mine are as reverse lights.. Will make backing up in the dark ALOT easier.





Theres even holes there already for you to bolt through...


Have yet to destroy mine yet.. They are missing the glass, and both are housings are cracked but i've never had a bulb blow even when they've been completely sunk under water and mud. They seem to crush when hit them very hard.. And just kinda bounce back.

Thanks for the pictures and ideas. I already have some lights on my rear cross bar for reverse that i plan to move to the cornferr rack to get a better angle on them.

I decided to keep the bajas on the bumper and put the kc's on the roof.

I'll be putting pictures up of my roof rack rebuild in the mod tech section if anybody is interested.
