Ok guys im trying to decide if mounting a 20 to 30' light bar on my hood or some LEDs on either side of my windshield would be best.

So I guess I would like to hear from some guys who have had both or at least been behind the wheel of a jeep with each type. Im wanting to know things as in glare, use able output, spread, wind noise, etc.

Please no recommendations on a 50' bar above the windshield because I cant tolerate the noise plus id be afraid of damaging it with my kayaks

 

Ah come on guys, ive always heard opions are like a-holes cause everyone has one and we know this forum is chocked full of us a-holes lol

 

I run a 20" LED bar on my hood and I like it. At first I thought it'd be noisy and in the way but it isn't. I also have a roof rack so having a hood light is easier than getting creative with the rack which mount around the windshield. The light is great for wide open areas and narrow trails alike.

 

Are you using the rigid mount?

 

Yes. It says BDF on it's but if I'm correct Rigid owns BDF.

 

I run mine on the hood and like the pattern I get from them. they are old school KC's I will trade soon for LED's , but they work well on the hood, also dont have to worry about low hanging limbs in the woods.

 

IS there any other 20" LED light that works well with the Rigid hood mount (other then Rigid SR/E bars)?

 

I'm waiting on brackets for a 30" hood mounted light bar. I'll let you know if I like it! Seems like the perfect size for the hood

 

Yes. Im running one of the ebay lights in mine. Not sure which one, but I think its 21.5" wide.

 

Thanks keep us updated
