Lightbulb Walmart light mod thread (post pic's and ideas!)

I know there are probably numerous threads out there already about the cheap light mod, but I want an official thread.
All the others are mixed ideas, mostly pic's of just the lights and no wiring, etc.
I want to see switches, wiring, lights, ideas, recommendations, etc.

I'm planning on doing this myself and I'm sure there are others as well.
Even if you don't have pictures, just post an idea. For example, I want to see where people are installing their switches?

Lets see some ideas!

I have a homebrewed roof rack light bar, with some fog lights mounted on the front bumper.

my switches are where the clock is (directly under it)

I have some provisions for additional switches under the rear defogger and where the rear wiper controls should be.

Interesting. Thanks for posting!
I'm not sure where I am going to put my switches yet.

Mine didn't come with fog lights, so I'm going to have to wire them myself.

Just got some off eBay from snappy lights 130w 6" lights for $65 and I'm just going to wire directly into the stock fog light switch.
