Check it out man. Lots and lots of pictures with lots and lots of different ideas:

Jeep Cherokee off roading lights

You're going to want to attach them either with some kind of light bar on the roof rack, or with a third party bumper that has bolt-on locations. You can drill into the stock bumper if you'd like, but it looks tacky.

Mine were super cheap until I bought the bulbs lol. Got these nice glass and steel housings off a truck in the junkyard, cleaned them up and painted them, wired them. $6 for the housings and $20 for wiring, switch, relay, etc. Then I decided I wanted Silverstar bulbs. $50 later I have nice lights lol.

Got Hella's in the JCR Bumper (nice upgrade option) and Hella 700FF in the center. Plan on getting a Rigid 20" LED bar for the top of my hoop eventually.
