Default A pillar/cowl light mounts on WHITE xj

I was thinking about mounting lights on the A-Pillar or Cowl but I have a concern. I heard that on light colored Xjs like white (which I have) that the light reflects back off the hood and blinds the driver. What are your thoughts or does anyone have any experience with this happening? Thanks

Are you talking about a "spotlight" like what cop cars have? Or like KC lites on your A-pillar?

Detours a pillar mount is the best hands down. I mounted mine slightly differently ( bolt wise ). Built well and has lasted me two years thus far!!

Does anyone know if the detour mounts will fit KC Highlites they look like the highlites might be too deep and the mount too shallow
