Looks awesome, and I have a quick question. Did you just tap into the reverse light wiring for those, or run a new set? I'll be installing a set of lights into the JCR rear bumper, and wanted to tap straight into the wiring.

thanks, and i'll post pics when im done.

thats not bad, i've done that to a couple of my previous jeeps, works well too... but if the bar gets sloppy they'll wiggle around and bounce at high speeds lol

Ya know, I did see a write up on doing this but I believe it was on jeepforum but I'm not 100% positive. Unless someone else did it as well.

Thank you very much. I hope it will look as good as in the picture. I have the rims but don't have the tires put on them yet. The bumper lights are in though. Believe it or not, it's not even photoshop, it's whatever the editing program is on the computer. haha! But thanks!

thanks guys, I just tapped into the reverse lights and put a in-line fuse in as well. not sure if it was needed but i figured it cant hurt.

I stumbled across the idea on here somewhere
heres one link
http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoReverseLights.htm
on the bottom of the page


for anyone thinking of doing this. it wont fit in perfectly flush if you have power locks (i do) the actuator gets in the way. but it was close enough that you cant tell. I just silicone sealed it real good.
you can see the actuator in this pic
before i finished cutting out the hole all the way.



look for lights out of a 96-99 Aurora in the junk yard. only cost me 15 bucks


LYON, i like those Delta Wrangler lights! good luck with the liby bar. kinda expensive but if you already have one it would look sweet!

As my rear window defogger is defunct, I use the wire circuit and the factory dash mounted switch for some rear auxilliary lighting. White blazer rear liths with standard 1156 bulbs, and couple of trailer marker reds from napa, gives great backup vision and marking when travelling in heavy snow squalls.

*update
my friend gave my some tractor lights so i home brewed a light bar... it was OK but I thought the two lights looked a little small.


got some cheap harbor freight roof lights 30 bucks a pair. 100 watts each.
mounting brackets were plastic and really crappy so i made my own metal ones. also added relays because they didn't come with any.
