Big fan of the round lights too, I think it flows with the headlights better. IPF has a great kit, XSD 901's. They come with all the relays, fuses, and even a switch all for $300. They turn the night into day!

LED's all the way.

I have a 12 on the bumper, 20 on the hood, and a set of D2's on the pillars.

Instead of just going with what You think looks cool blah blah blah, functionally, you should have different kinds of light for different applications. I.e. snow, rain, fog, are different from dust, which is different from just a dark trail with no moon. Recovery ops are different from speeding down a trail which is different from exploration or crawling. I've chosen to run halogen IPF lights below the headlights, and rigid LEDs above the headlights (bumper mount and a pillar). I have low halogens to cut through moisture in the air and for spread, and hi mounted LEDs for just pure output and distance. My factory fogs are now rock lights also.

I have these same lights on my JKU. You actually didn't need the extra bracket, just flip the bracket they came with over and it mounts perfect.

Well, I'll post this again.

For offroad lighting, there's a basic difference between a light source which is above the drivers' eye level, or below it.

Lights, located below eye level, cast shadows on areas which are within view and prevent seeing some obstacles.
Lights which are above eye level will illuminate everything within sight:
