Default Hood light bar with Rigid Dually

Decided I would do something that I haven't seen anyone do. I put rigid duallys on a hood light bar. The bar is made for the KC lights that a rectangle but I thought the duallys were not much bigger. Wired them up just light you would the windshield mounted lights but ran the wire between the hood and the cowl. The glare isnt bad especially because of the blackout sticker. And the lights are not bad to see over while driving. I liked the setup and thought I would share it.

I had a 20 inch E series connected to the KC mount with a hi lift on there too. Was an awesome set up.

Yeah it has been working out great so far. Now I just need to get LEDs for all the rest of my lights.

I used the kc hood mount they make for lights. I drilled two holes to put the light bar on it and then used the holes that came on it for the lights to hold the hi lift. To hold it I just put a bolt through and then a nut to hold it. Then I put a big washer on that nut and set the hi lift on. I used another washer on top and then a wing nut for quick and easy removal. If you're not able to follow this all pm me and I'll try digging se pictures up.

Yup I used that exact mount. As I said before I used the holes that hold the lights for the hi lift with bolts. I drilled two holes (one on each side) to put a bolt through to hold the 20. I used the little foot mounts then give you and put a bolt through that and the holes I drilled in the KC mount to hold it.
