I'm interested in mounting a led bar or square type led light on the rear of the car. I have WM 3/4 roof rack. But thinking of how to mount to the rack or any other way. Clean way ! I was thinking about mounting it to the existing spoiler holes. Make a barker that will attach behind the spoiler and have the led bar right above it about the same length as the the bolts are apart. What do you guys think. I'd appreciate some pictures of your lights on the back.
offroad lights mounted on the rear.

These guys Axia Alloys have a ton of round bar mounts that make for a clean install. Just need to know the diameter of the rack and then choose your poison.

I have a pair of the 6" BlitzPro lights on the rear of my roof rack. They provide plenty of back up lighting.
I also have the OEM fog lights recessed into my rear bumper, but I want to replace those with LED's soon. They are too yellow.

Exactly what I was looking for. Nice clean look. Those are some badass clamps lol.
I'm mounting a 41.5" led bar in front.
LED Power : 240W
OPERATION VOLTAGE: 10 - 30V
Now rear I'm looking at either 2 led square lights to spread it out on corners or one straight led bar in center of rear also.
1 single square led.
LED Power : 18W
OPERATION VOLTAGE: 9 - 32V DC
Or 13.5" bar
LED Power : 72W
OPERATION VOLTAGE: 10 - 30V
Now I doubt I have to worry about my battery or alternator right ? I will be using a pre made harness for the lights. And any tips on hooking them up safely ?
Got my 41.5" bar for around $230 after 20% discount.

I don't know what harness comes with those cheaper LED bars but my Rigids came with a nice harness. I still ran them (along with every accessory I install) into a Blue Sea fuse block.
But u don't have to upgrade your altenator or battery ?, why run it into a fuse box when there's a relay and fuse built into the wire ?

Nope, I haven't had any alternator or battery issues.
It's a cleaner install and all of my accessory fuses are in one spot for easy access. The supplied harness/fuse works fine though.
Gotcha you sir. I do like your idea of seperate fuse box. Any tips on installing, location ?,
Now since the harness comes with fuse and relay, do you still keep the fuse or eliminate it and only use the fuse in the fuse box ? The relay stays attached though ? Correct ?

I velcro'd mine to the top of the stock fuse box under the hood
I kept the LED fuse which is redundant and a waste really. I'm probably going to wire it straight to the fuse box. No need in having two fail-safes.
Yes, keep the relay.
Thanks for the tip and the info on fusebox. It is probably safer, cleaner , better, proper way to do it. And I will go your route. Velcro sounds easy and good idea.
Speaking of rear leds light and LEDs. Check this Tacoma I bumped into in a parking lot.
This is how he mounted his rear led bar to his rack
