I guess you meant front Westin Safari Bar?

No, I am sure he means up on the rack.

I have a set on my Thule basket (converted from my range rover)

No time for pics, but I used a set of cheap fog/driving dual lights (walmart or pepbooys or somewhere).

I forget how I mounted them.

The wire runs from a relay panel I added behind the center console (Firewall floor area) to the rear and exits at the top of the door/hatch where the piece that hide the roof seam are.
I used a piece of cold weather 12/3 extension cord (cheaper then any other 12G wire).
So I have separate control over the driving (narrow) vs. fog (wide) lights.

It is great for getting through the woods, or helping to set up the camp site when the sun is down.
