Default installed my windshield lights. I

I installed my windshield lights. Pickd these up on eBay for 60 dollars a piece. They are so bright it's ridiculous. Small animals burst into flames when illuminated. You can also buy these exact same lights at Oreilly for $129 each but if you can wait three days to buy the half price I'd go with Ebay again.

Default Forgot to mention

I forgot to mention I smile when some jackoff coming at me forgets to turn off his brights because it's so fun giving him a dose of reality. I'm pretty sure when I return the favor I see smoke rolling off their foreheads. Just kidding.

Default Yep

Hey Fugg....Yep, they are HID's. They are 6000k so they are just bright white.
Skid.... I used the rugged ridge brackets because they set a little lower than the KC mounts. One tip I have is that you have to elongate the holes in the bracket where the lights bolt on since the HID housings are deeper which makes them sit too close to the windshield. You can kind of see how deep they are in that one picture.

Those look great! Do you get any glare off of the hood from having them mounted there?
