Yup. And we don't need some government agency authorized lights or accessories, either.

Heh, I know, right? Well, there's an additional pair of 100W halogens (the ones in the pics are 55W) that will be perched up next to each other on the top of the bumper's center hoop. And I'm considering putting another pair on windshield hinge bracket mounts to be controlled by a switch in the dash, especially if I can move them around like a cop spotlight. The problem with that is that you can no longer lay your windshield down flat. Then again, it's not something I've ever done, but I just don't like the idea of having an option taken away from me. Anyway, if I do that, then it's very likely I'll end up wiring in a Delta light bar like the one in the pictures below in response to Lucksi...

You can do it in Germany, too, apparently...

We don't have to do any of that here. And it has yet to cause mass panic.

By the way, here's an example of the windshield hinge mounted lights setup:

I've just realized that we have a Jeep thread with this many pages and pictures without a photo of one of the most famous Jeep users.
