I have an Red 03 sport and i am thinking about adding some lights to my bumper, i already have the factory fog lights, and I know how and where to run all the wires, my only question is how/ where would you mount lets say 6'' KC slimlights. I want them on the bumper, which has that gray plastic over it, and i really don't know, see any good mounting places? If possible could some people post some pictures of after market lights on the front of their jeeps?

Mine are Hella 500's (look at avatar) and i love them, but i re-wired them to accept 100W bulbs because i wanted something brighter. I think i'm gonna put 4 KC slimlites on my roof rack though for serious lightage...

I like my Warn lights. They have a low beam and a high beam, but I think they are a bit big to mount directly to the bumper. I think the Hellas are slim enough and still look really good.

thanks all....



Lost KJ Junkie, what kind of brush guard it that on your rig? that looks to be an even better idea than the arb bumber that i had originally wanted, but later found out it won't workl out too good without a lift kit.

I have a set of KC slim lites and they are nice. Powder coated metal, with metal mounting hardware, very think glass lens, 100w, no plastic, and lifetime warrenty even on the finish and bulb. Look nice too and good heavans are they bright. However, they are about twice the price of the hellas, so take your pick.

I am somwhat familiar with Kc lights, i had four on top of my 94 Cherokee, there were almost too bright, if that was possible. I am currently looking into purchasing a set of Hella Black Magic driving lights along with a Westin Sportsman brush guard

that looks pretty good, i like where the ones on the bumper are, it makes it look like an 05 Renegade... which is pretty much the look i'm currently going for. how did you mount them to the bumper, from what i can see on my own it looks like it might be a pain in the rear to mount them there?

Took off the tow hooks and drilled a hole through the bumper and after the fog lites put the tow hooks back.
I will look for the right up that was posted with pictures that I followed to do the install. I think it was on here
