Rock Crawler Inspired

Seen these on a couple of rigs, thought they would be nice out on the trails at night. I installed them last year, but never thought about posting them up. They work great for wacthing rocks on narrow trails. They're Hella's 55W Halogens.

One each side?

Both come on with the same switch?

Where did you mount the switch(s)?

Where's the power source?

Sorry Marv, I should have went into more detail.
Yes, one on each side and they both come on off of the same switch via a relay. Powered straight off of the battery. (I need to find a small distribution board) I installed these switches before finding out about the 650 dash, other wise they would of looked liked Brandons. They're LED switches, forgot where I got them.

That's it! I got my "behind the grill" light idea from Bearhunter.
