Front were just spots on a on/off rocker switch



rear was the same



under the roof rail end caps there is small hole coverd by a sticky grommet type thing, take the grommet of and you have wire access into the interior behing the top section of the plastic panel.

my rear one was fine for months, but i ripped it of going through woodland.

Lights bolted though the roof.

Cheers guys. I was thinking of mounting to the tailgate but having seen the roof mounted ones I may change my mind! My other option would be to wait till I have a cage fitted and mount them to that. But I think I will need the work lights long before I can afford a cage!!!! Choices choices!:laugh:

How have you mounted the rear work lights? Are they inside the tailgate and shining through the glass? Cheers.

not sure I like the idea of the lights mounted inside .. potential for glare .. also doesnt it restrict the access when loading / unloading ?

I like the idea of the high mounted front lights on the leading edge of the bonnet though.
