Hey guys I need some help on where to mount my rocklights on my jeep. I have four so 2 up front and 2 in the rear. I want them to be more of an under glow to show off. Any ideas on where to mount them, I was thinking in the wheel wells but I don't know above the wheel or beside or what. Any help is appreciated

I used LUX Lighting LED rock lights. They are magnetic mount so they can easily be put about anywhere. I cut a hole in the fender liners in the front wheel wells and mounted the lights to the inner fender support. #Merica!

Well they wouldn't really be used for off-roading is what I'm saying. I would use them like mall crawling pretty much, haha

Put them on the sides of your jeep so the people at the mall can see you coming

USN is an exception being as his rig is sick and everyone needs to see it. Plus, 'Merica.

Other than that, idk how I feel about rock lights.

Thanks!

I literally installed them for my XJ's once a year appearance in the Ouray, CO 4th of July Jeep parade of lights... And every once and a while I have a desire to share freedom with other mall patrons:

I'd probably use them if I ever end up doing a difficult trail at night... Though the blue and red are pretty much useless for seeing rocks. Lets be honest, its a poser mod but I'm ok with that since I actually beat this thing!

How many lights are you running total? I was planning on getting Lux rock lights as well, looks like they have pretty good output.

I'm running 12 of them total (2 front bumper, 2 front wheel well, 4 mid ship, 2 rear wheel well, 2 rear bumper). I highly recommend Lux, they make a good product and the magnets stay put.

Just got for it. It doesn't look like you're going to get a super duper helpful answer here. Sorry, bud.
