Hi guys,
I was browsing through dubizzle and came across the below.....JK mirrors with LED lights on the back (kinda like the FJ - but nicer
)

caught my eye honestly! contemplating whether to get them or not.....should i go for these or just get off road lights on each side of the hood like below?

Hi Mok11
From experience with jeeps in our club , the front xenon with wide angle are the best. The on top of the hood will create reflection that will effect your night drive.

Whatever you chose, make sure its flood light, not spot. Ive been shoppin lately for aux lights and 99% here are spot, useless in desert for driving, but only good if you try locating a lost soul :-)

The ideal solution is to to have 4 Xenon lights mounted on the front bumper. Two in the middle as spot and two on the sides as flood lights.
If you are using just two, so use flood lights.

As Capri mentioned the mix is the better :)
my setup:
2 Lights on the front Pumper - Drive Lights (Flood)
2 Lights on the wind shield - Long Range ( Spot )
1 Led bar on the roof ( Flood)

Thanks Zak....nice set up! wondering if the LED on the roof and the spot on the windshield are really necessary though, if they do glare back off the hood then it's more of a disadvantage than an advantage is it not?
