I am getting a set of the rectangle lights for the back of my xj. I'm trying to decide if I want to hang them upside down from the roofs crossbar or if I want to cut spots out in my rear bumper and mount them behind it. Can you guys with lights on the back post some pics of them? Hell if anyone has any input let me know cuz im really up in the air on what I'm going to do.

I found some small round driving lights that I plan on taking a holesaw and mounting them in my bumper so it gives it a nice clean look

In the bumper is the best place. I have mouted them on the rack,below,and on top of the bumper. Broke them all. Stupid trees.

haha true i dont get into too much and have still managed to land on my hitch which sits there in so you probably will some time. I would like to see the hole saw idea i was thinking of a similar idea for the front but just havent looked into it.

Below the roof bar, mounted to the roof.

I still think the trees will get them. Remember given a chance a tree will kill u and everyone u love!!!!!!!

There since late July, on a bunch of tight trails. key is to get lights that are of a low enough profile to tuck behind the roof bar, and nestle the bar up to the backside of the light housing.

Thank you oldyellowxj that is one way I was thinking about mounting them.
Now does anybody have pics of lights mounted inside there rear bumper with the squares cut out of the bumper.

For use when backing up, the higher the better if you ask me.

When they are low, they make shadows on everything. Makes it harder to see what's going on.

How do you wires these up? I plan on wiring them to my reverse lights but Im not sure where to tap into the wiring at.

Since my rear wiper was broken off, we used my rear wipe switch to power the relay which we installed inside the rear drivers quarter trim. so the lights come on when I put it in reverse, when the r. wiper switch is on.
