Default KC Side Mount Windshield Light Brackets

Just thought I'd share this in case anyone had the same question. Had to move my windshield lights because of a River Raider Snorkel install. The manufacturer pictures of the KC side mount brackets only show small lights. I wasn't sure if they were gonna work with the 6" IPF 968s. Ordered anyway.......

Just got them on today. They work great, tight clearance, but I think it looks better and seems to produce less wind noise.

The part is KC 7317 Windshield Light Side Mount Bracket

Do they offer longer bolts to accommodate the bracket. I already have doubled up on the OEM bolt with my snorkel and Rigged ridge mirror mounts adding this would make it a triple. I think my Jack mount would be in the way anyways so I think its not an option for me. But it's a great option for people who don't already have a ton of stuff on the sides of their Jeep.

It actually mounts on the bottom two bolts. The ones that seem to be not used in your picture. I think it would clear all the snorkel parts as well.

Yep I took another look and your right. But on the drivers side the jack mount uses the 2 bottom bolts. So Its not an option for me. But I like how they have come up with more options.

*Edit* added picture.... Moved Badge there to cover Door ding.... that happened before Jack mount
