Default Daylighters or Slimlites

I'm ordering some lights for my windshield and can't decide on Slimlites or Daylighters. I would like to see some pics of these mounted and would also like to know if they cause a blind spot. For a 2012 Rubicon

Thanks

take a look at the Rigid Industries D2's. Compact, bright as hell, and rugged.

Or even just he Dually's. I just put a set (spot pattern) on my windshield. these are sweet. Not to mention a little cheaper than the D2's and less draw on battery than either of the slim or daylighters. I had a pair of the slim lights on my 04 TJ and one of the duallys smokes both the slim lights. But that is just my $.o2. Not to mention with the RR brackets, dually, and dually covers, the total was only like $230. Hope that helps.

Here are mine; there are definitely some blind spots, but I don't notice it anymore. They are mounted on KC brand windshield brackets (black).



This one was really a pic of the sliders, but you can see the profile of the lights pretty well.

I have the 130watt long range slimLites mounted on the smittybilt brackets. I barely notice them while driving. Also comes with a part to guide the antenna away from the light.

Slimlites look beter if you have the extra money to spend. But daylighters work very well also. If you are worried about blind-spots, make sure you get the brackets that mount the fixtures down low and off to the outside. You can see a differance in my brackets ant the ones in the above post. See my sig below.
