Default Light Mounts for A pillar

Just found these online wondering if anybody has bought them, and how well they work being riveted on? A pillar light mounts

I've got RC's 50" Curved LED light bar mounts, utilizes 3 rivets just like the A pillar mount you posted. Seems okay & secure, I've only had it on a couple of months now.

Check Amazon, sometimes their prices are better.

Thanks, I was just kinda wondering how well they would hold up. They are a good price, compared to others.

Looks like it would have a lot of glare in the windshield and hood with the mount there unless it was a spot.

I have the same ones. They went on pretty easy. Just be careful drilling and don't go to deep. And get as straight as possible. I ended up breaking a bit because I was going in at an angle on one hole.

Installed the mounts today, was pretty easy install had to drill out the light mounting holes to fit my lights. Also mounted them a little bit higher on the A-pillar, hopefully that will reduce a lot of glare and I think it also looks better.

Default Light Mounts for A pillar

Man those are pretty slick mounts. I like that the mount holes are inside the door seam. I've looked around for a ditch light mount that bolts under the hood but can't find any.

Anyone know of a place that sells something like that? Maybe uses the hood hinge bracket or something.

Thanks, Yeah I built the bumper and then cut up a brush guard I had and welded some mounts on it.

Hows the glare coming off the hood with those lights? Kinda interested in those mounts, only with LED cubes
