That looks like a great idea. Did you use screws to mount the bracket?

I think they're going to block your view, throw a glare on the windshield and look like mickey mouse.

Other than that. They look great.

Also looks like 1/8" steel. Probably going to vibrate with the weight of the light on it.

You could always harden the steel to get rid of some of the vibration but you would have to refinish them then.
