Default RiverRaider Snorkel and windshield spotlights

I really want to get this snorkel for my Jeep but I have lower windshield mounted spotlights on either side of the windshield. I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this and is it a problem with this particular snorkel? Will it obstruct it? I really could care less if it blocks some of my spotlight... As I don't use them a lot. Pictures are nice to look at too lol!

Call the company and speak to Kenny the owner. I have the same problem and stopped by the shop to talk to him about it. Told me we should be able to put a extension on the lights or something along those lines.

Great guy and company.

Gottcha, I sent em' an email just now. I was going to see if I could mount the snorkel 2-3 inches more towards the center of the windshield so it would be moved over from the spotlight and not matter. If not, I'll have to trouble shoot my problem with him. Do they preform any install work at their shop? Rather have the professionals install for me haha I'm not mechanically inclined!

I don't think you can move it. There isn't a lot of room on the firewall. I installed mine yesterday. It took around 6hrs to complete. Here's a picture of my install. I don't think it will contact the light but it will block some of the light.

Yes they will install it. Should be able to buy it directly from them.
