Why do people put square lights on JTs (or any wrangler minus the YJ)?

Thanks!

I’m planning on skipping the winch. I carry traction boards all the time along with rope and I make it a habit to not go crazy without one other rig.

Interference from the bar with the trail cam isn’t bad. If this post gets more than 3 likes I’ll grab and post a pic (there are some on here somewhere).

With a winch you’d prolly have to mount the light on top of the bar (I’m going to go under) which I think would make the trail cam almost useless (I could be wrong).
yes, exactly what I am/was afraid of.... Hate to say it because it wouldn't be my first choice, but square lights might work because of size...IDK.. haven't made it that far yet..lol

For reference, right after BD LP6 mounted and before winch. Neither interferes with cam but it seems like a bar with lights might:

My input. Finally got my KCs mounted. Not square, not round. Bought them for function, but do like how they look. The red rings work well with the Jeep emblems and warn stuff in my opinion. I fine tuned the angle adjustments to fix the vertical angle after these pictures were taken. You can see they weren’t perfect here as I’d just finished testing also tried them out at night, and they’re very bright. Waiting on amber lenses to show up next week for snow driving KC Flex Era 4’s with red anodized accent rings.

For the camera, you could try light bars behind the grille. There's a lot of real estate back there!
