Any one install these before? I plan on putting them on Rugged Ridge Windshield Light Mounting Brackets, I was wondering how easy/hard they would be to install?

I have some that i'll be putting on some smittybilt brackets hopefully the end of feb when my jeep gets here! I haven't seen any installed pics but the install looks the same as the rest. They light kit come with a nice complete package that has everything needed and the instructions are straight forward.

They are fairly straight forward. I had my brother do them for me, since I suck with electrical stuff, and he ended up cutting the harness up and making it much nicer, because the stock harness is pretty long. My light are mounted up on the windhsield though, so yours may end up not being so much excess wire.

They look like the KC brackets. I have them just like that and the block a little vision next to the a-pillar, but not too much. They also dont have much if any glare at night.

You would be right! They are the KC brackets. I have looked at others but these kept the light out of the way the most...from what I have seen so far. The only downside I kept hearing about was they rust. I just spreading a few extra layers of clear coat and was careful not to scratch them. 9months laster still no issues.
