Gents, debating where to install my LED light bar on my bumper mounted Mopar lightbar. Over the bar, or under.... I kinda lean towards under, but would like your opinion. At this point, I have no intention to install a winch.

Here's pics of both...

I would go with under. I like the look of it better but it also blocks less air flow to the radiator.

 

Under! looks a lot cleaner!

 

X2. Looks and will function better there.

 

Looks good! Part #? Looks exactly like what I want to add

it's made by rugged ridge. Rugged Ridge 11232.20 - Rugged Ridge Light Bar for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
or Olympic Olympic 4x4 Products 183-174 - Olympic 4X4 Products Front Bumper Mount Light Bar for 07-12 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

 

Could be wrong, but the reason I went with mopar is that the krinkle finish looks better, and in pictures at least, the bar looks fatter tham the RR... and last but not least, much cheaper priced....

the last RR on the part number stands for rugged ridge. they even used the same jeep. MOPAR 123220RR - MOPAR® Light Bar for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
also look at the install pdf, rugged ridge. anyways, if not getting a winch, bottom looks better.

 

Looks better under the Mopar light bar.

(Except for fog or rock lights), the higher the light is installed, the more effective it becomes.
Lights located above eye level, have a meaningful advantage over lights which are below eye level, so the best location is on a light bar above the windshield.
That's true spot & flood lights alike.
