What do you guys think or running some lights up on the hood?

 

Not my style.

 

Do you or any one know where to get the pillar mounts at?

 

Detours. Hes a vendor here on cf.

 

Yep lol

 

Like they said, detours is the place to get them. Mark over there at detours is the man, great guy! I've never received anything as fast as I did my a pillar mounts.

 

Pointless, what good is light on the trail that far ahead?

 

It depends on what lights you use I guess. I love my duallys on the a pillar... As far as pointless, half the mods people do are pointless so why not light up the woods like a freaking runway?

 

Sure lots of mods people do are pointless. But lights are supposed to be functional or at least useful this does neither. Lighting up the woods is good when the area your lighting is in front of the vehicle, behind or under. The majority of the light will be wasted on the vehicle itself.
And two lights on the hood will not light the woods like a runway, however a light bar across the roof or on the front filled with lights will.

 

I kinda agree, kinda dont. Lights on the hood are functional but I think there tacky. I've had (3) 100w lights on my rack and they were not any better than the ones on my A pillar or bumper. Lights light. Where you put it isn't as important as where its aimed. IMO.

 

Oh watch out fellas this person sounds like they have the ultimate setup lol

 

I'm doin hood mounts now I want to prove a point. It will work

 

Yup I do they are called headlights for driving home when the trails get dark. I've done my night wheeling and realized years ago stupid **** happens at night.
But have had plenty of light setups over the years including on the hood and agree well placed lights are key. If you think they look cool than do it, if you want functional for trail riding at night there are much better places to put em.

 

The problems i would see you having with the lights mounted to the engine hood. might make the hood hard to open. might restrict how far the hood opens. and glare issues off othe hood might hurt your night vission more than the actuall light hitting the road helps.

 

Ill. Give it a try and post results. My hood is very faded and most clear coat gone. That may be a benefit for once.
