Any pics of views from INSIDE the Jeeps? I'm thinking of Hella 500FF's w/Mopar brackets, but I'm also considering the RR mounts. Want to see what kind of blind spots show up. Thanks!

RR mounts w/PIAA 520's (6.25" diameter)
Camera angle makes it look worse than it actually is (unless you're shorter than 5'8")

Question

After reading everyone's threads and viewing their pics, I've got some tough decisions to make regarding lights. You guys all have some amazing looking lights!! However, I've got a question after viewing several closeups of the mounting brackets. Will the passenger side mounting bracket and light location prevent the passenger side wiper blade from standing up? I ask this because I frequently wash mine and stand up the wiper blades while washing it. Also, in winter driving conditions, ice buildup can easily be cleared by picking up and dropping the blade. Can this be done while the brackets and lights are in place?

Good question... I'll try this out and let you know tomorrow.

I'm unfamiliar with this thing called "washing"

Anyone have regrets thus far about installing the driving vs. long range windshield lights, and vice versa?
