I got mine on the stock roof crossover bars and on the front bumper.
I use the front bumper ones when driving at night for a bit of extra light (aimed down enough so they dont blind people)

dont have a better pic of them mounted right now, ill take one later if you want.

N20jeep, I just bought a pair of KC's like yours and have strongly considered the placement you have with them. I was wondering how bad the hood glare was with them being so close to the hood and having light bounce off the hood. Does it effect your sight when its dark outside? thats been my main concern. Thanks!

I tested it a few nights ago, and with a visor also above my windsheild it minimized the glare I got on my hood.
