cow boy, theres not really a good frame spot to mount them because of the way the unibody is built, but what i did was take off the plastic vent covers right in front of the base of the windshield and drilled a few holes in it to mount them there. then when i put the vent cover back on with the lights already mounted on it i drilled a few extra screws to hold it in place a little more secure. then on either side under the hood and on the frame drilled small holes to screw in the ground wires for the lights

Good back up lights or alley lights not worth much for forward lighting

Interesting that the seller keeps saying that his Tuff LED lights are better than "Cheap China Counterfeits". "Made in P.R.C.", as it says on a TUFF LED box, stands for Peoples Republic of China. His selling pitch is misleading, making you think they aren't made in China. Plus, these are floods (doesn't say but I presume are 60 degree), which spread out wide, not far out. So, since you're not buying non-China lights, why not get these (30 degree) spot lights: LED Off Road Lights that have 50% more lumens (2150) for literally the same price, which might even be made in the same factory for all you know:
And, according to the customer reviews, these throw light way further out than a car's high beams.

They actually work really good, they were awesome for my drive from New York to Florida. And 2 of them together are brighter then my head lights and go out a good amount of distance almost as far as my high beams.

anyone who has the 03 style bumper with the nice shelf right in front of the grille....how did you mount the lights there? did you have to take the plastic part of the bumper off to find a mounting point? i tooled around for like a solid hour trying to find a good place to mount mine and i cant. any help would be awesome and thanks
But they are a work light , not driving or fog which is what you want. Work lights are made to light up a larger area so you can.....see to work, around a camp site, work area not driven on the road blinding everyone. They scatter light over a large area, unlike a fog which keeps the light down low or a driving which is more of a narrow beam which is controlled
one of the "reviews " on them, and yes he is right

This review is from: Tuff LED Lights 4 X 4" Inch Round 27watt LED Work Lamp Light 1450 Lumen, Off Road, Atv, Utv, Polaris Ranger
Hello, I bought these and from the reviews i though that i might have a great deal on some nice wheeling floods. NO!! these are work lights. ten feet is there effective range. I have a set of 165watt seal beam lamps that have an effective range of just around fourty five hundred feet. Make no mistake. these are NOT those kind of lamps. Still I'll keep them for side lights on the JEEP.

The front of the frame rails come out under the bumper cover, about 2.5 inches or so in from the area that drops down. You'll need to pull the bumper cover off and remove the tins from the ends of the frame. Then measure and drill. Makes for a good spot to mount them and very solid

Just happened to fit a pair of spotlights yesterday. I drilled down through the plastic top surface of the bumper and then through the top metal section of the bumper beneath the plastic. The only thing you have to be able to do is access the hole from underneath so make sure the lights are above the cut outs for where the tow pints are bolted in.
I just unbolted the tow loop and then used a socket on a flexible extension to reach the nuts from underneath. It all tightens down very firmly with no movement.
I ran the wires underneath in some plastic channeling that contains wires for the external temperature sensor. Then continued it up behind the indicator to where the battery is and mounted the relay on the side of the engine bay using the fixings that are already there.
