Bumpside bumper build input

Just looking for input on where I should put lights. I was thinking two between the tow points, but my buddy says I should do it on the angled part. Or I could to both Ideas. Just dont want it to look to cheesy. Want to keep the pissed farm truck look. I'm using 4" round PIAA's that i got laying around. Penty of room on the sides of the winch also.

I can see it either way. Out under the headlights would be nice for Light spread, but in towards the middle would focus the beams together.

Both places would look ok I think. Maybe try getting a picture of the lights your using online print it out and tape them on your bumper to get a better idea in placement. That way you don't cut holes in the bumper and decide they don't look good then your stuck with them there or need to weld them shut and start over. Also could you post acouple pics of your truck showing the bumper from different angles? I been looking for ideas on what kind of bumpers look good on these old trucks.

I was in the same boat. Not many pictures of these trucks with custom bumpers. I will take more pics once I get it finished. I plan on getting it lineX when done. Got the back bumper almost finished also.
