While watching football yesterday evening and picking up stuff outside I found some rgb pool lights and couldn’t help myself but to stage some pics. I don’t intentionally wheel at night so probably won’t be a need to expand but kinda look cool.

For Rock lights, I could not find exactly what I wanted in a kit, so, I made my own. I wanted red and white. I needed bolt in red for the plastic inner fenders and white magnetic for the truck lower boday & frame. Red for night vision. I did not want a blue tooth controller. I plan to use the white lights to light up the rocks when 4wheeling at night and the red inner fender lights are for the jeep get togethers and camping at night. I bought four 4WDKING Red LED Rock Lights and four white LUX MAX Magnetic LED Rock Lights. My aux switches are all used, so, I used the two light switches on my Warn Platinum winch. I made my own wiring harnesses with waterproof connections and corrugated plastic automotive piping. The 4WDKING Red Rock lights on Amazon are super bright. I am very happy with them. I have not finished the white lights on the other switch yet, but, here are some pics of the red rock lights installed.

If you actually go off road at night, lights located high up in the fenderwells are basically useless. Real functional rock lights should be positioned to light up underneath and around the vehicle as much as possible, keeping shadowed areas to a minimum.

IMO, illuminated fenderwells just look silly.

Might want to run it past your husband first but whatever floats your boat.

I don't understand. Don't the lights get dirty? Do they have washers?

Keep them low where they are useful as rock lights. They are also useful when camping as ambient lighting that won't blind you. Some colors won't attract bugs.
