Need your opinions

I got some nice 6" driving/trail lights for a good price (free), and I'd like your opinion on placement. I photoshopped a couple of photos to help me/you decide what you like better. (placing them on a lightbar on the roof is not an option, I park in a parking garage, and I have less than 1" clearance as it is)

So... center? Or corners?

The second pic looks better IMO, but if you ever get tow hooks, kiss those lights goodbye.

woops, lol! I forgot all about my hooks. That is an older pic, before I got my tow hooks. I guess its center or nothing now. Lol, thanks for bringing that up! I guess I 'could' put them farther to the corners, but if I ever get on an odd angle and need to be tugged out, it would get busted off.

I guess my tow hooks made my decision for me, to the center they go. (until when/if I get a winch)

get some windsheild brackets and put them up there

Get four of them and put them in both places!

I agree with GT

Those photochop lights look a lot bigger than 6". I fit my 6" KCs in the outer locations without any problems with the tow hooks. Shouldn't be any different for the YJ.

Well, despite everyone liking the outer corners better, I went against you all! The main reason I did this was simply because I wheel quite a bit, and I use my tow hooks lots. I don't want to bust any lights off. I went ahead and attached them, and here is the final product sans photochopping:

I don't think they turned out too bad. I may even get two smaller rectangular lights and put them where jdlawhon has his.

no room for a winch

Bobbywolf · 12-17-2004, 01:19 PM

like I said. They will move once again when/if I get a winch. I usually go wheeling with many people in our club, so I don't really need one for now.
