If you aren't using a push bar or brush guard where does everyone mount their fog/driving/off-road lights...?

Also, where are you taking power from and mounting the switch inside...?

I've got enough stuff to do two sets with relays, I just don't know where to put them. On top the of the bumper is my last choice.

thanks....

Once I complete the MML, mounting the lights on the roof rack won't be parking-garage friendly. I visit the VA hospital regularly and there really isn't good parking beyond the garage. I have to be practical in some things.

I was thinking about mounting mine on the rack, but then I remembered I have a ladder that needs to go up there. I think I'm gonna go with a push bar.

the smartest thing you can do if you plan on adding more elctrical stuff in the future is to wire in another fuse box...thing just like you home..run a new positive and a negative from the battery into a new fuse box and run everything off that. that way you dont have to worry about taping into power elsewhere and you have the negative there as well for a ground...run your pos and neg to whatever you are wiring up and put an inline switch on the pos to turn it on and off and your set
