Default Lights

I was given a set of 6" off road lights and now I'm having a hard time deciding were to mount them. I was thinking either in front of the grill, windshield mounted, or above the windshield. What is the best location for maximum lighting and easiest to install?

Max effectiveness for driving lights if midline, max effectiveness for fogs is low, below midline and spots is above midline... Driving lights work ok on the windshield, but you'll get a lot of glare from the hood, fogs should definitely not go on windshield brackets. Which 6" lights do u have? Are they halogen or led?

Like I said they were given to me but my best guess is that they are driving lights 100 watts halogen
