I want to put 2 fog lights on the front bumper.

Would it look best to go on the top of the bumper or bottom?

Would it look best with round or rectangle lights?

I would just like to get any form of input, thanks.

That's really cool, I never even thought of that. I wonder how hard that would be to do though.

Well, on the bottom of the bumper they will decrease your approach angle. And on top of the bumper they will give you more light flow. So I would put them on top(or recessed like Lyons), but I don't like the on bottom.

Yea I was leaning more toward the top as well, I think the look and function is better all around.

It's not that hard. You need a good hole saw though. It's definitely easier to remove the bumper. I did mine with it still on and it was a PITA on one side to get the light mounted. Doing it this way also eliminates any kind of adjustment but luckily I didn't need any. No wobble or light shaking when going down the road. I hate when the lights flicker. These are brighter than any fog light I've ever had. My XJ came with the stock foglights. They were rusted out and not working so I bought a new set. 1 or 2 trail rides in the mud and water killed them. I got the Delta's because they are completely sealed. I've been through many puddles and no water as of yet. They do condensate at night sometimes but if you turn the lights on for a minute or so they dry right up since they burn so hot. These came with all the wiring and hook ups you'll need as well which is nice.
