Rear aux lights

[rydinhigh]

I am going to buy some fog lights and use them as auxilary back up lights. Im looking for the best spot to mount them. So far I have under the rear bumper and inbetween the rear roof rack and the body. I am afraid that if I put them under the rear bumper I will smash them when I am wheeling, but if I put them on the rear roof rack they will be to high up and wont help me. Any thoughts, opinions, pics?

I have clear driving lights as backups on top of my roof rack. They put out a perfect beam for when I need to back up so in my experience the roof rack is not too high to mount them. Good luck.

Thanks for the response Brian. I was wondering if you had any pics of your lights. I was poking around on your site and didn't see any.

Thanks

i had mine mounted under my bumper..they are fog's

I like them under the bumper because it sort of hides them but I am so afraid that I will break them when wheeling.

that's why i stuffed mine under there..you can't tell in that pic but i would have hit the bumper before i hit the light's

Yes, putting them low conceals them more, but they are much safer up top. Both will give good light if you aim them correctly.

Do a search with my name and backup or reverse lights... I know I posted pics and a diagram of how i mounted my $18 55W driving lights (Wal-Mart) on my roof rack. They give great light. I don't have time to search right now, but if I think of it later I will

Here is how Hokie mounted them..

Good Luck

Mine are on my hitch - You were there when i broke one Mike!!! However, I throw large stuff on the roof so that ruled out putting them up there. Just buy 'em cheap, mount them low.

there a jeep shop around the corner here, and one of the guys there has some lights beside his plate at the back. In this case, and in the case of 98+, it's way up on the tailgate, so out of harms way, easyish to hook up and high enough to cast good light.
