You are going to have to use some low profile rectangular lights.

Do they come in Red & Blue then i could really have some fun and just add a flasher lol .. and get myself in some serious crap lol ....

I actually found a set of 3" round Lights Just not sure if its better to have them as High as possible ? or should they be kept lower down closer to the bumper level ?

I wonder if you could find two or three roung lights that could be mounted in such a way that they shine through the holes in your spare tire that come on when you put it in reverse. I think that would be pretty neat. They would be protected and invisible until you put it in reverse.

Something I've seen done is 2 visionX LEDs on each tail light. However at $120 a piece, it's kinda price prohibitive.


Cool I think we got it... Buddy is going to design a bracket to mount 2 - 3" Lights Below Roof Rack Line but Above Hardtop to keep the as high as possible but also allow for clearance... Cheerz and thanks for the input
