Cowl/Windshield Light Mounting
I want to put lights on the bottom of my windshield right behind the mirror. Are there any brackets out there that dont require drilling into the body? I dont want rust to where I drill into the body. Also, if you have any links to good brackets post them, cause I have only found a few. Thanks

By behind the mirrors do you mean from the driver's point of view? Technically speaking, in front of the mirrors?

This is how I do mine. On my 95 and 2000
I'm pretty sure Detours offroad makes brackets for the pillars if that's your thing.

I copied detours piller mounts and sealed them with rtv, they will never rust. I like the look, but if I was going to do it again i would just put them on the bumper. They shine alot of light on the hood would be easy to damage off road.

There was a guy selling ones he built on here that go between the mirror mount and the door. Don't know if he is still selling or not.
