The red arrows show where I mounted my lights. They are 55w and I wired them up with a relay. There's an article in the tech library about wiring in lights properly. It might not be the safest spot to mount them, but if you don't try to back over the local drunk indian's fishing couch down at the river, they should be fine.

I picked my lights up at the local hardware store for $10 for the pair. They're just the little rectangular lights, but they are bright and sure help out in the woods. I need to put a switch in so I can turn them on manually as well.
