Default 4" LED pod mounting need some ideas

so me and my coworker split the cost for some 4" LED pod lights, they're a flood beam style and i'm havin a hard time thinkin of how to mount em, i can't decide weather i want em on my A piller, roof rail or what, i've got plans to buy drivin lights for my bumper so i don't wanna put em there for that reason, if anyone cause any ideas or a way they've done it before i'd greatly apperciate the feedback and ideas,

No bolts, just three rivets and no leaking or issues whatsoever.

too easy, mark the holes, drill the holes using a bit that matches the rivet size and use a rivet gun to attach rivets. YouTube should have several step-by-step demos on not only how to rivet but also how/where to run the wires.

Detour makes brackets that will let you use a snorkel the rest out there won't.

Whatever you do, do not mount them like this picture.

Front bumper has factory holes for auxiliary lighting, with enough room in between for driving light.

i don't know, i do like that flush look, but i rolled out to the spot i used to have bonfires out at cause it's darker out there with no street lights down one road and put power to my LEDs and had em up on my roof and like how they light up, so i think i'm gonna put em up on the roof rack unless someone has "blue prints" for the gutter mounts,
