I like these running lights but these are clearly made for a truck although it says jeep in the listing. Dont/cant put them on the freedom top was thinking either the hood or the top of the the windsheild...what do you guys think?Click image for larger version

They look like marker lights. Like the old "5" high style. They might look odd anywhere lower than the roof. Give it a try, thy could turn out really cool.

I'm guessing those lights cost $, and they'd be vulnerable to being hit if placed on top of the windshield.

Placed on the hood is a great spot, I'm surprised not more have done it.

With the scoop being deep, I had to relocate the windshield water jets (was single in center, now have dual) but you could place your light forward of the stock jet, drill a hole in hood (or remove the hood nipple and use it's hole - did I just say that ?) and feed the wiring through to firewall.

Good idea and nice looking jeep by the way. They arent expensive (ebay)...just some LED running lights I like them cause there blacked out aready but are pretty bright yellow at night. I was thinking mabey like forward on the grill like where a bug deflector would go but I agree with the other post probally look funky as far as running lights go anywhere but the roof. Mabey on a roof rack when I get one
