Where did you put your rock lights?

I have one on each side of the very bottom part of my inner fenderwell. At full stuff and full steering lock, my tire rubs slightly. There is that little 1-2" lip that connects that rubber piece on the underside. They are attached on that lip. For the back I have one in front of my gastank pointing towards the t-case (downwards of course) and the other one pointing under my rear axle. They are the standard 55watt kind. I also have a pair of fog lights for reverse lights. I have the 3 illuminated switches on the center part of the YJ dash, on the flat area right underneath the guage cutouts. One switch under each guage cutout, so I have room for two more switches, and if needed, there is enough to put more switches between those. I'm running wires from the battery to a fuse block under my dash, then the wires for the lights to the fuses on the other side.

It is pretty bright. I like them. I woul post some night pics but man I suck at getting the camera to take a decent shot. Where did you put yours? Yes I know theres hardly any rocks out my way but I do go on a lot of night runs, over logs, stumps, etc. It is really nice to see what your driving over!

edit: Found a pic of my front lights. Don't mind the rusty fender. LOL

I saw a neat setup on a Cherokee last weekend. The lights sat inside of the front bumper shining back towards the front wheels. The lights were very protected that way. I haven't really looked at the TJ to see if it's doable.

Sounds like a good idea but I cut mine off so it's flush with the outside edges of the frame rails.

The lights sat between the frame rails inside of the front bumper. It was an XJ though.

My front ones are on the inner fender up next to the top of the shock tower, toward the rear. They point pretty much straight down. My rear ones I need to move, they catch any flying rocks.
