Lightforce, Bracket, awesome OTRATTW switches and cheap lock nut solution
I've been around the forum for a while without posting too much.
I've finally installed good lights to compensate for the really bad stock headlamps.
So here it is:
Here's the overall look of my setup.
Close-up of the bracket
The lights are wired with a three way switch so that they can be turned ON while the high beams are ON, always OFF or manually turned ON when the ignition is ON. The switch is custom made by OTRATTW to be horizontal. They also display as red when the lights are on.
Ignition OFF - Jeep Parking Lights OFF
Ignition OFF - Jeep Parking Lights ON
Ignition ON - Jeep Parking Lights ON - High Beams ON - Switch in High Beam Follow-up Mode
Notice the custom garage door switch. It is a momentary switch, pressing left opens the left garage and pressing right opens the right garage, all while the ignition is ON.
The guys at OTRATTW were great to create the switches I wanted and help me decide which switch was the appropriate one.
Finally, I found some security nuts that are cheap and useful. Only drawback is that I had to make a bulk order, so I have a couple nuts left. I will probably post them FS when I get enough posts so reduce my loss on the order.
Here's the principle behind the security nuts.

So here it is:
- (2) LightForce 170
- (2) Auxiliary Light Bracket
- Custom OTRATTW switches mounted on Rugged Ridge A Pillar Pod
- Cheap security nuts for securing the expensive lights
