    Googled for pics, all were late model, anybody have pics of 1 rectangle 12 inchish light, or 2 -4in
    Lights behind grilel on cj.
    Need more distance light for night trails. Plenty of flood from headlights, looking for more spot!
    Would like to place them out of harms way, and not distract from the stock jeep look.
    Any pics?
    Thanks

    Patrick? I think he put stings of blue LEDs behind his grille.

    They'd have to be some small lights not tio interfere with the air flow.

    1088w, led 12in comb flood,spot light behind grille!
    Like the look of these old jeeps without aux lighting showing!
    Also out of harms way! EBay 12.99$ link on my lighting behind grill thread.
    Goina run hot straight to battery, and switch ground in dash with a toggle.
    Beam pics tonight
    Done 15376392997041868666134.jpg 15376393447551530271333.jpg it all without removing radiator!
    Had a 12in long 1/4 bit, so it wasn't too difficult?

    You could always mount them on top of your roll bar like some of the good ole boys in Texas or Louisiana. Can't say that I've seen any in Arizona, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there.

    Of course you like the aux lights not showing; they'd ruin the svelte lines of your Hi-Lift jack, towing cable and other assorted junk hanging out on the front!

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Jk.

    Making fun of my, poor man's winch ,LOL I don't like them mounted on the hood either.
    A little OCD I guess?
