I saw one where somebody made a bracket that attatched under the hood near the back of the sides allowing lights to mount there. When the hood opened the lights went up with it. Didn't look bad at all. Otherwise I would thing you'd have to rig a bracket to bolt to the cowl and a lot of it would be exposed.

Ok, there's a company that makes brackets to mount lights on your A-pillars. I don't remember their name, but I have their email address...

Here it is: howler_gt@yahoo.com

P.S.: They don't ship to Canada though

I almost like this idea better than the pillar mount....Only issue I see from the pictures is if you have a snorkel, then it might be in the way. Personally, I don't plan on having a snorkel. I might look into those as I have a pair of Hella 500's that I need to install. Thanks!
