Default Round or Rectangular Fog Lights on XJ Grille?

What do you think looks better with those big ole square headlights and rectangular grille: round fog lights, or rectangular fog lights. I can't decide

it also depends upon the size and how they are mounted i prefer not to have anything sticking out past my bumper... maybe its just because of my driving style just my .02$

I prefer round just cuz it kind of relieves the blockiness and seems to flow a little better

crap...50/50 on the poll. I kind of like the idea of round in front, rectangular on the roof. But that kind of messes up the Jeep Feng Shui...I feel like there should be two round ones between two rectangular ones on the roof to balance it out. Then I would feel like I am trying to get away from the Cherokeeness and look more like a Wrangler...sigh...decisions. Maybe I will just mount a rotating spotlight on the roof and put a 10" lift on. Yeah, that's it.

Round because they actually look like fog lights.

Square headlights are clearly where it's at. Easier to stack and they don't roll off the shelf.

Same goes for fog lights.

I like the rectangular lights because I think they go better with the squarish lines of the XJ. As soonas my light bar gets here, I'm putting rectangular ones on.

Very nice with round on top AND in front! Yes, please, I'd like to know how you mounted those lights to the roof rack...I thought you had to get a light bar which mounts to the roof or gutters, etc...

all i did (well PO did, i just redid) was drill the correct size holes into the stock crossbar and put the lights on, then ran the wires (not to clean right now) which are in that plastice tube stuff with the slit in the side and then down into the passenger side door, then into the weather molding.

heres a few pics of when i installed the overheads, lemme know if you need anything specific
