That's a sick setup.
Did you self fab the brackets or did you order them?

man that looks pretty good I really like how clean it is. also interesed in if they hit the fender

Thanks for all the comments. There is plenty of clearance between the bracket and fender when the door is opened. I'll make a write up once I get around to the wiring.

put 100w bulbs in them they are pretty bright enough for a $70 set of lights

Ditto that you can find some nice bulbs to put in them that make them pretty nice

good old fashion clear 100w bulbs from the auto parts store work fine like 5 bucks ea and are pretty dam white

So you had to drill new holes in the mount right? and what did you do with the wiring? I'm looking to do this except with an actual CB antenna.

drock2

Right, I used a drill press to drill a new hole and elongate the other two. Make sure to measure it out a couple times, for both sides. I made the mistake of assuming the pattern would be the same, just mirrored, on each side. For some reason my passenger side mirror mount is different than the drivers...maybe it was replaced? I probably won't do the wiring until the weather shapes up, it's just no fun working in 20 or less temps.

Here's a question for you guys. I currently have a Toyota switch for my Hella 300s, simple on-off. I'd like to be able to control both the 300s and 500s from one switch, a switch that has 4 selections (Off, Just 300s, Just 500s, Both). Any ideas for a new switch that would fit nicely in the same place?

RoBatt

have you wired them yet any more information?
i really like the idea

The problem I have seen with mounting lights up high on the mirrors or on the roof is they light up your hood as well, ruining your night vision. My firend had mirror mounted lights on his Jeep and I hated them for this reason.

Kinda cool mod though.

drock2

Sorry not wired yet...spring break is coming up though, hmmmm.

Yeah I've heard about that problem. I figure I'll have em turned out a little, away from the truck, to minimize the hood reflection.

RoBatt

this might sound dumb but i think what has alot to do with the reflection from the hood is how tall you are bc i am not too tall and when i am sitting down i cant see very much of the hood at all so it doesnt really matter how much it reflects
i have 4 warn spot lights on my roof rack and i have no reflection when they are on
what do you guys think

Very clean install.
I like your rig a lot.

The wiring turned out pretty easy, I'll have more info soon.

I read an article about putting duct tape on the part of the light that normally glares off the hood. Of course they do have black tape so it doesnt look horrible...

Looks great man !!

drock2

The glare turned out not to be a problem at all. I think the pic just makes it look bad.

Then wheel on dude, I still think it looks really badass !!
