Light Cubes on Hood?

[5747kwk1]

I like the look of the light cubes attached to the hood, in front of the windshield, but doesn’t that prevent the windshield from being lowered all the way? If that is true, what is another alternative in the general area? Recommended brackets?

I picked up a set of Rough Country A-pillar brackets & lights but haven't installed them yet.
But if you wanted to lower the windshield, the brackets would have to be removed. Only 2 Torx bolts/side so it wouldn't take long, but ya, they'd need to come off.
Not aware of any A-pillar lights that would allow the windshield be lowered w/o taking them off. Would be nice though.
I figured realistically, I might drop the windshield just for the hell of it a few times. If I was doing it every day it would be different.

I believe Rigid Industries is making a bracket that moves them outward so that you can fold the windshield.

That would be handy...

I think I found the solution. https://www.rigidindustries.com/2018-jeep-wrangler-jl-cowl-mount-fits-2-d-series-41656.html

They're not ON the hood, but BESIDE the hood ... for another alternative, check out page 3 of this thread: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/cube-mounting-light.7715/page-3

@5747kwk1 ....

If you're considering the Rigid cowl mounts, there's a version being developed that allows for the lights to pivot outwards. I like them, but not at $300 to keep them in one direction. I'm sure the proposed solution will be in the same price range, but at least there's the option to point the lights where you want them.
