Default Show Your Windshield Lights

I recently got new tires and what not for my Jeep and now my wife says I need to get something for hers. She thinks she wants some Windshield lights. I've never looked at them very much until today and didn't find much on the forum search. So how about a little show and tell?

the windshield lights are best at lighting up the sides of the roads and very far out, the grill lights light up the center of the road past the high beams (starts at about 100 deet and lights to about 350-400 feet

I painted the backside of my brackets with a heavy coat of plasti-dip, it's an aerosol based rubber compound. Can be bought at your local auto parts store, Lowest or Walmart

My rugged ridge mounts came with gaskets already adhered to them.
