Default Mounting LCD lights

Ignore the title- LED lights

Any good ideas on mounting these in place of my current baja lights?

Looks cool at $4... Seems perfect for night driving...
Instead of replacing your baja lights you can just add it if you want...

They say Accent lights... I don't think you will be happy trying to use them as off road lighting.

Besides that having blue lights facing forward is asking for trouble from the local law enforcement.

Maybe upgrade your headlight harness, and get some better lights first. Such as ipf H4 housings and bulbs of your choice.

those are accent lights, like underglow type of light. i would but them under rocker panel in between the rocker guard and your panel so you can have some light there for night wheeling. but that would imply you have rocker guards. and i would get white not blue

Do not put those anywhere that they will be exposed to the outside. Those are for accent only, undercarrage. Some areas will only allow you to use them when off the road. Even when used on a motorcycle, which they are designed for, you dont put them out for actual lighting. Cops here love to get people for using them incorrectly.
