Has anyone found a way to mount lights on the Air covers next to the windshield?
Mounting to the cover itself would not be stornd enough. I am look into fabing up some brackets, but was wondering if someone may have already done it. Why reinvent the wheel.

Thanks

 

I wouldn't do it.
The glare off the hood blinds you so youdon't gain much.

 

I have done lights on the windshield on alot of my cehicles in the past. jeeps and full size blazers. I have never had a problem with glare. If you have the rihgt lights and get them mounted right, they work great.

 

You mean like this or what? http://www.predatorinc.com/h3lightcowlset.aspx

 

Now those look great. To bad they're so high priced! But definitely on my wish list.

 

Yes, something like that. But I do not want to spend that kind of money.
Looking for a bracket like you can get for Jeeps. I know I used the "Jeep" Word! But I think I am going to get some steel and see if I cannot make something at some point. I like making something if I can, and whne it comes to than kind of money to buy something, I would rather buy the tools to do it my self.

I was really looking of someone on the Forum had already fab'ed up something. I have a few different ideas, but was looking for some input. If I am able to make something that works I will post it later.

Thanks

 

Are you looking for extra lighting for off roading?

 

I am looking for extra light for when ever I need it. I drive a lot of back roads at night, and I find my self driving late at night in storms all of the time during the winter.
I do not want to drill the front end, well at least not yet, might end up doing that.
I also have always liked the way the lights look up there.

I have popped off the covers and started thinking up ways in which to make a bracket. I have a welder and cutting tools, so I just need to go down to the local metal dealer and pick up some 10 gauge strips. I am going to use the holes that are already there for the quarter panel and mount there. Will take a little bit of heating and shaping of the metal to put a little shape into it. that way I can get a more flush mount. Then run it up behind the cover and bend it down for the mount. Weld in a couple of reinforcing pieces and see how it works.

Probably will not get this done till early next year. if I can get it to work I will post picks of what I did.
