It depends on what kind of lights. Fog and driving lights are best kept low. The bumper is the best way to go with them. Long range or spotlights are good on the windshield, but you have to keep the beam pattern narrow to avoid hood glare

I have Rigid Floods on my front bumper, and a set of Rigid Spots on my PSC windshield mounts...works great and looks awesome.

Deffinatly agree also what I have found is if you have a lighter color JK (white / silver) you might have more glare off the hood.

I've got some IPF lights on my hood now, and I hate them there. When I had them on my bumper the visibility was amazing with them on. I hate when they light up the hood while I'm driving, to me, it draws too much attention to the hood and not the road/trail. I'd put them back on the bumper but the Rugged Ridge XHD with a stinger doesn't have a spot for auxillary lights. I might just sell the IPF's and buy some pencil beams for the hood.
