A-Pillar Aux. lighting bracket

94HOCHEROKEE · Oct 26, 2009

Does anyone know where I can find a A-pillar bracket, or a good write up on installing aux. lights near the windshield washer jet???
Any input, insight, or ideas on locations other than the roof are greatly appreciated........:shhh::clap:

Rocklizard used to sell the a pillar but he only makes liberty parts know but I think he had told me someone else who made them cant remember it has been a while

When I heard of the rocklizard ones, it was already too late.

I mounted mine on the cowl. I do not recommend it. When you turn the lights on, the glare off of the hood is a bit too much.

flat black the hood and that will kill most if not all of the glare

I dont think it would. It is even bad with he hood covered with mud. Seeing your hood lit up disracts you from seeing the distance of the lights. Almost like looking out your window at night when the lights are on inside your house.

yep. agreed. i used to have 4 KC's on the roof. and i just couldnt make them work for me, the glare was just to much. Mud does not make a difference so i dont see how paint will either.

The best place for lights is somewhere infront of the grill..

i think you had your roof kc's too far up towards the windshield. i ran daylighters on the roof on my '01 and had no glare at all. but i agree with you that upfront on the grill are the best. roof lights are sweet but unnecessary unless you want to lead on the trail

they make lower scoops for those pillar lights to fix the glare problem. i think the scoops look kind of tacky, but theres an xj in my town that has them with kc slim-lights or the like, and it looks decent

Something like this?

I made it out of alumnium and mounted it with rivets and ran the wiring down through the gap between the hood and fender.
