I had an extra set of lights i forgot i had, so i thought about putting them where the RL tire and gas tank carriers go, so tell me what you all think

I would drop them down an inch or so and move them back into that hole as far as possible that way they are protected and would look pretty good

Great idea, but that one in the last picture looks like it is crooked.

If you want to go out and play after the sun set is more fun then anyone can have an still have clothes on :twisted:

But unfortunately the local Law Enforcement Agency's will have some negative Say in this matter. Always check out what the local law has to say. Then do your Mod and have a lot of FUN. As with anything it all depends on the cop pulling you over, if you have done your homework . You shouldn't have any problems> GO OUT GET MUDDY AND HAVE A GOOD TIME :twisted:

should i just call my local police station and ask how many lights you can have on the back of your car?

It never hurts to check with the local law enforcement, As cool as most cops are there is always one who wants to make an example out of you.
If you have done your homework you will at least have a leg to stand on. I'm not saying all cops are out to get us, But you never know when you come across that one who's daughter ran off with a guy in a Jeep. As bizzarre as this sound it does happen.. Just cover your rear end in all possible ways and you should have a fun and safe time playing with your Jeep. Just my $.02 worth.

If you put light covers over them when you were on the city roads I bet you wouldn't have any problems with the cops. After all, with covers they wouldn't be lights.

I think you should do it....the light covers things is a good idea I think:)

I agree with tommudd. BEFORE i drilled the holes, I would have moved them further back into the recesses under the tail lights for more protection, the maybe re-drilled the mounting brackets so the fit closer to the bumper for a cleaner look, but since they are drilled and mounted, guess they look okay.

Also for the Law's stand point, I hope you have them rigged off a relay and a kill switch as back-up lights to come on when the KJ is in reverse and not when you decide to turn them on. If they are aux back-up lights that are switched to ONLY work when you are off road and can kill them for the mall parkinglot, then Johnny Law MIGHT not mind too much. But Pitty the driver that turns those on in traffic to discourage a motorist behind you who has forgotten to dim his/her high beams.

they are not drilled into the bumper... they are just setting there. i will not be drilling into my still new RL rear, but i will fab up a bracket to be tightened in there.

I could swear I can see a bolt there, my bad. Tuck them under the tail lights good and tight and maybe even smoke out the lenses and most people wont even notice them

riptricket · **Posted:** Mon Aug 27, 2007 10:25 am

ya i kept the bolt connected to the bracket because i did not want to lose it.

Does the battery or your wiring haress smoke when you turn all that on :shock:

riptricket · **Posted:** Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:44 pm

no... i had some troubles in the beginning, but not anymore!

JMM · **Posted:** Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:51 pm

Just curious - what dd you do to get all that going - seperate circuits and bigger battery? Did you have to do anything with the alternator?

dirtykj · **Posted:** Wed Aug 29, 2007 4:02 pm

Reminds me of the movie: Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind.

But yeah, I dig the lights

what do you all think...
