Default Cube Lights on Bumper?

Hey all, where do you guys usually get your auxiliary lighting from? The bumper I just got has 2 tabs for mounting lights. I thought about getting 2 cube lights to go there.

Anybody running these?

Did you ever get a response somewhere else on your question? Did you end up purchasing them? I have a JCR front bumper and am also looking for cube lights.

Never got a response. Ended up going to Harbor Freight and bought one of their lights. Good quality. They have light bars and cube lights.

I have JCR bumpers front and rear. I went with the cube lights they sell when I bought the bumpers. They work great.

How do the ones in the front bumper throw the light pattern? I'm wondering being mounted inside the bumper if the square opening cuts off any of the beam.

How did everyone wire their rear bumper lights? Under the truck or through the tailgate or?

The face of the lights are pretty close to the opening and I don't really notice any cutoff of the pattern. But then again, I didn't go out and really look closely. If there is any cutoff, it's not immediately obvious.

I would like to find bumper mounted fog lights the replicate the OE look for my 1991 XJ. Or NOS OE fog lights. If anyone has come across these let me know. I will admit I have not searched recently but earlier search did not turn up anything suitable.

I think you can find reproductions of OE fog lights at places like Rock Auto, etc. I am trying to find a set of lights as well. Mine did not come with fog lights, and I don't want to get some of the led fancy ones. I like the look of the halogen lights that look more period correct to the 1990's. You can also check out the Hella 450 or 550 lights, I may be going with them for my driving lights.

In my travels I have come across stuff like this:

https://www.carparts.com/details/Jee...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

Not sure how correct that representation is.
I want to say on Ebay sometime ago I came across a guy selling used factory ones.
I could be wrong buy think the asking price was $250.

Ran the wire up and thru the taillights for my recessed lights in the bumper. Started to go under then started wondering why no other wiring was under there🤦‍♂️

The PO installed cubes on my pillars as well as on my bumper, and they look quite nice. No name brand but the light output is incredible. Ran two different switches under the dash and wired them to switched 12v power so they only come on when the vehicle is running. The only problem I have is he ran the driver's side wiring straight through the center of the grill I'm about to replace
