Ok I mounted the rock lights here and Im not sure if I love the location they seem to be ok... but is this the best location for my rock lights......

This is what they look like but is the best place for trail use  :dunno:

If you stayed at moon rocks past dark you probably wouldnt have this question! hahaha But they look good! I like mine concealed and low pointing so that they dont blind everyone on the trail.

Im running 12 lights, 8 LEDs; 2 under grill

4 under the cab

and 2 under rear frame

I also have driving lights under the front bumper pointing forward

Floods under the rear frame, that are easily adjustable, to light up camp and such.

All of them on

You want your rock lights located so that they shine under the truck.  They are intended to light up the items you are stuck/held up on, act as work lights, help w/nighttime pics, etc.  I have one in each front wheel well, and two under the f-bed.

I'll have to snap some pics when I get home but I just used 55 watt "tractor" lights.  There is one mounted above the front driveline pointed at the front diff, one under the rear driveline mounted to the crossmember pointing at the rear diff, one on each side behind the front body mounts pointed down, one by the radiator and one above the rear axle both pointing down.

One thing that drives me nuts is visible rocklights, not only is it annoying to me as a driver to have lights pointing out all over the place on my buddies trucks but it is tougher on the spotter to have lights blinding you causing your vision to dim in the light.

Looks good! I used all the lights this weekend on the Rubithon. The LEDS aren't super bright but saved my a$$ when I broke and had to work under the truck for 3 hours without draining the battery. Do you have any pictures at night?

If you want high output out of an led, you have to build your own.
