Got the lights installed. Ended up going with MBRP brackets. Made gaskets for them out of a bicycle innertube. Very happy with the lights. They are bright, don't glare off the hood, and look good. They also work well with the light brackets--no hitting the antenna like some larger lights.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm considering the 510's (driving lamp version, not fogs) for the windshield mount, too. I saw a set of PIAA's on another Jeep that I swore were smaller than the 510's, but didn't see anything smaller than the 510's on PIAA's website. Can anyone confirm that the 510 is the smallest light that PIAA makes?
I primarily want these to supplement my high beams. I'm guessing that they can be wired up that way?

I have the PIAA 520s on my bumper and HAD the 510s on my windshield. I loved them and they looked great with the bumper lights. I fried one because of a loose connection in the way I hooked them up, so I replaced them with a pair of D2s. The 510s were exactly what I had wanted and I was very happy with them. I just thought I would try something different when I had to buy a new one. The D2s put more of a spread but not the same distance as the PIAA 510s did. For the trails Ive been on, both work great. I highly recommend either for trail lighting.
And I should add, I used the 510s on 3 mountain camping trips. So they did see night use several times.
