I like those alot but my truck is blue, not a hint of that neat orange (my son's Compass has the orange accents and he loves it)
I'd like to do ones that go over the bar like the Mopar handles do but don't want to buy something that fancy or expensive. Would be mostly for my wife on the passenger side.
Too bad that cord doesn't come in hydro blue LOL.
There's a lot of things I can do and make - but I could never get those to come out as nice and even as you did so won't even try.

If so I might have to consider a couple of those............ to attach to the roll bar/cage/whatever (I have the spiderweb shade attached to the trim screws)

Added Aux switch terminal block to clean up the wiring and allow flexibility in the future to easily reassign or combine. Bought a Fastronix 4 stud junction block kit on Amazon and mounted it on top of my DIY ABS winch cutout switch bracket. I wanted to go with a Badge Glow kit, but it interfered with my existing bracket.

Used painter's tape to trace the mounting hole pattern. Drilled small pilot holes and used license plate screws to hold down the terminal block.

Then, I crimped ring lugs, routed the wires, and screwed them down. I covered the top of the posts with small rubber vacuum caps. Plenty of clearance for the hood and Redline hood struts.

Installed Oracle Oculus headlights that I bought from @aureovin. Connected the halos to Aux 4. Leaving them turned off until I can get some LED turns turns installed. Cant handle the halogen/LED mismatch. Also installed a Rubi takeoff plastic bumper with metal skidplate. I painted the bumper inserts Gator to kind of break up all the black I have going on out front. Reasonably happy with how the paint turned out.

Thanks to winning some lights at a local jeep swap meet months ago & then prime day having some decent looking mounts that I scored for 10 bucks I finally got around to installing some after market lights.

Halo Fog lights have also been re installed , I forgot to bring the aftermarket mounts for them to the cottage when I did the install but got them squared away today . The lights on the bull bar also have a nice orange halo DRL
