    I’d rather not list. My wife might see it.
    I’m planning to install some rock lights in the wheel wells but I can’t seem to find a good solid mounting point on either the front or rear. The wheel wells are pretty much plastic. I’ve tried searching for install photos here but can’t seem to find them.

    Any leads or thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Alot of them
    What about under the frame as puddle lights instead. I've seen people put them in the wheel wells and it looked like crap because wires were everywhere.

    Considered that but I’m looking to light up the wheel area for air up or down. I’ll be fishing the wires through so no wires will be exposed.

    Thanks, I watched that earlier. I saw where he taped the back ones and used included bolts/washers for front. I have seen some do self tapping screws. That’s why I was curious.

    I'd do the nut and bolt, washer, lock washer, drop the liners. Easier to hide the wires that way.

    It was very time consuming. Taking out the fender liners were a pain then screwing the lights to the liners and putting liners back in. I can take a pic when I get off work. I wish I would have installed higher in the wheel well as I did two lights in each wheel. Pretty easy to run the wires except for going through the nipple in the firewall for switch. I used the more expensive Mictuning set on Amazon.
