Default Rock light location and ideas

Hey guys and gals, looking into some lights for under the jeep and just wanted to ask where people have put them and how did they mount them? I need some ideas on size and where to put them thanks

So here's my first idea, not really rock lights but this should help for the sides

These aren't exactly rock lights either but they definitely do the trick... No fog light mounts on my bumper so I put the factories underneath instead..

That looks good can you take a picture of how you mounted them for me I like that and do you need the capacitor thing to stop your hids from flickering I'm also looking into and his kit and don't know what to get

the one up in the fender is cool, but unless its recessed pretty well the tire is gonna tear it up / tear it out under flex.

It sits back enough that the 33 won't hit it it would have to hit my sway bar first and I can't get my tires to rub at all

They're not mounted in a permanent way just yet... Just held on with zipties. I've been wheeling a few times and they havent even budged, but I'm still experimenting on a permanent bracket. They're just ziptied to the crossbeam thing that hangs from the frame, and then to the bumper.

And the headlights aren't HID actually, they're the IPF upgrade from Northridge
