I'm a fan of the police style spotlight mounts so you can turn it by hand, and it's not really in the way.

Your doing it for function not form after all.

i think im going to do it...sucks ill have to pull the fenders to do it because the cowl is closed off pretty well...but oh well it will be worth it

i'm running cowl mounted lights on my trail rig/dd tracker. i like that location because you still get lots of light down the trail without as much glare as when they are mounted on the top and less chance of damage as the ones mounted on the push bars.

I've thought of doing this, if I wasn't so concerned with drilling holes in my cowl I'd do it. It looks like a good place, and is probably better than drilling holes in your roof. You see a lot of jeeps with this type of mount! I say go for it!

Option number two: Get some of those antenna mounts that come thru the crack between the hood and the fender, and put the lights on those...
