Depends on where you want them. On the roof, on your bumper, brushgaurd, bull bar, light bar, roof rack, roof basket... You have lots of choices.

check out my setup. It's a piece of angle iron with holes in it basically. sturdy too!

sorry it's dirty, but they're the only pix i have of the lights. they've been up there for a few years with no ill effects.







I've also had my lights under the bumper





As well as a kind of mix that I have now





I can probablyly dig up more pix if you need'm

I went with a bumper mount. Bumper is sturdy steel so be sure to measure everything first
Just need a drill, punch, measuring tape, masking tape, and silicon sealant.



ETA - Pic taken at an angle so it might look like things are offcenter.
And I'll just post the rest as links so I don't overload your thread with my pics.

low beams
alone
high beams

Ground the lights individually, run the Hot wires to a relay, the relay hot to a + with an inline fuse & the relay switch wire to a switch in the cab. There with be a diagram as to what connection goes where on the relay package.
