Thinking about adding lights....
I'm thinking about adding the two lights that go on the bottom of the windshield on both sides. What I would like to know which is the easiest mount to use, and how do you run the wires so you don't see them?

This write-up should help you out a little:

Additionally with the write-up you would remove the wipers and hood vent to get access to put your wires out of view and hook upto the battery. Running the wire/light switch is simple to the dash, just follow WOL's technique.

Well I added a set of Stryker 170 HID's to mine. The brackets I made, because I didn't care much for the one's I was seeing online, and really didn't like the prices! I put my ballasts and all of the wiring up under the cowl on the front just in front of the windshield.
The only part of the wiring you see is where they come out and attach to the lights themselves.
Most mounts use the same screws on the corner of the windshield.

Also, pick up some flexible wiring loom to make the job look stock.

I used the 4" HIDX style lights with HIDX mounts. The white wires are the wiring harness I bought from eBay for $10. The thin white wire goes to a lighted switch on my dash. I have the black wire wrap I'm gonna cover it all with and then nylon tie it to the factory harness to clean it up.

8 bucks for duplicolor bed spray liner and 4 bucks for "L" brakcets at home depot or lowes and a drill you can make your own brackets for half the price and you don't have to wait for someone to ship it to you.
