Gang,

What mounts are you gals and guys using to mount 3.5" to 4" LED lights to the cowl?

i picked up the rough country kit which includes 2" led lights and low profile mount. i love the low clean and simple mount. the 2" led fits nicely and "tight". i would double check if your light will fit and clear the windsheild. zroadz have similar one too.

Baja Designs sells their own kit with the A pillar cowl mount and lights.

Thanks for that; I finally found it after a bit of a search, but I think I like the Mopar mount a little better then the BD one...decisions...decisions. ;)

Just ordered the Artec dual light mounts. We will see how they look when I get them. I considered the RC 2” kit but looked too small for my needs. Good price tho.

This is by far my favorite a-pillar light mount out there right now. Only reason I don't have it is because it was designed for rigid industries ds series cube lights. Great, high quality lights but I'm wanting to stick with Baja Designs for all exterior lighting. What makes rigid cubes different from the rest is their inset hidden mounting points vs the outer edge mounting points of Baja and others. If only artec would release a version that accommodates a wider mounting dimension.

holy crap. I did not know that. Well damn. I was planning to mount some Traveller cube lights from TSC. Guess I’m going to have to do some modifying.

Found this random shot of another rigid light that fits inside the bracket ears. So more than the ds series fits. You should search some light options that fit that narrower space

Thanks. I’m wondering if the 4” pods would fit on there as that was my original plan. Once I get the mounts this week I’ll do some test fitting.

I would've gone with the rigid side shooters on these mounts, to also gets some peripheral illumination

So I ended up buying the @BajaDesigns single cowl mounts and their XL-R Sport High Speed Spot Lights. I recently dumped XFinity as my ISP and went to AT&T Fiber. AT&T "paid" me $400 in Visa gift cards to switch and I used them to fund this endeavor. This will complete my light upgrades and so I am good for now. If/when the cheap cube reverse lights I installed fail, I may look at BD or Rigid for replacements.

Thinking of the single cowl mount bracket also. Post some pictures and let us know what you think?

Here are the mounts and the lights (lights came in a bit ago). Now, to build the wiring harness and mount.
