Why do you need that kind of lighting there? Wouldn't the bumper be a better place?

JDK has similar circular hood mounted lights. IMO hood mounted lights is a smart location - the location keeps the lights from being smashed in brush and away from winch lines (if bumper mounted).

I have a 12" Rigid Inds lightbar on the hood and zero regrets, but the lights you choose are huge

The squirts can be resolved, I added a splitter to the stock water tube and added dual squirts, one on each side of the lightbar, can just see them in the photo below.

My opinion would be to use those square lights, but in different locations. I would put two on the bumper and run two for windshield lights. I like the square shape, however If I were to mount lights on the hood I would choose LED's or smaller rectangle lights.

Dont get me wrong, It doesnt look bad and everyone has their own opinion. I just think that would look best.

I hear you Happy, you're right, my two washers at half pressure now hit the right spot.

I don't care for it but hey it's your Jeep and it would definitely be different!

I am going to go with the front bumper mounts and side windsheild mounts as well. I don't want anything obstructing my view when wheeling.
