Hi guys and gals, I have a quick qestion about lights. Has anyone mounted them to your hood/winshield wiper cowl? I have two KC Daylighters that a friend gave me for free and was thinking about putting them on the far corners(close to the cab) of my hood or on the wiper cowl. Once I get more ill put them on a thule rack on the roof but i wanna work with what ive got. Any pro's or con's for on the hood? i can always bolt them to the front bumper but I wanted to be a little different. Any feedback would be great, thanks.

 

Yes, I have seen lights mounted beside the wiper cowl. I will see if I can find the link...

 

i would put them in the center of the hood but in the front of it. that way the light isnt getting shined on the hood and becoming useless.

 

i did a few searched on here but couldnt find much, i appreciate the help. And yeah, I was thinking that the light would be reflected unless I had pencil beams or something like that. All feed back is helpful. thanks

 

just stick them on the stock rack.

 

I would but I currently am waiting until ive got 4, and I also have a roof rack taking up my 2 stock bars

 

Just mount them up and go

 

guess ill just have to. anyone got any mounting pics? (i know, i know, i just keep the questions coming)

 

somebody makes a set of light mounts that attach to the A-pillars. Ill see if I can find out

 

My bad, it mounts to the fender. but its still in the same general area

Referring to THESE?





Like other manufacturers, HCP has discontinued these due to overwhelming lack of interest and pitiful sales.
BUT, I have a few "some assembly required" sets.

Just need welding and finishing.
PM me if you're interested.

 

how did you run the wires off the roof racks

 

I'd rather have them higher up like the roof or the best result was right in front of the nose I'd rather see whats in front of me instead whats in front and the hood bright as day.

 

That first setup looks sweet. And you can fab something up for much less than 45 bucks!!! I am really liking the location of the first one. I am not a huge fan of the location of the ones on the red xj. Looks too much like a police car.

If you are looking for long distance lights this is the best location if you do not have a roof rack. If you want close distance lights this is the worst location because the light will simply light up your hood.

 

ok, so I ended up mounting them on my front bumper, and am pretty happy with the decision. If I had money I would definetly hit you up for one of the pillar kits but the lights should work where they are at for now. Also wired them up to my stock fog light switch which is pretty cool
