Personnal preference as to which you like, KC's may interfere with view, Mopar ones will interfere with antenna depending on light size installed.


there is a picture with both on one Jeep for comparison, gimme a few i'll see if i can dig it up.

Edit: Here it is. Photo courtesy of Caleb

KC on the passenger side, Mopar on the Driver's side.



I personally prefer the Mopar version & installed them on mine with 8" Ralley lights and a hacked off antenna (8")
Thanks for posting this pic, I didn't realize the diff. in the two. I like the Mopar ones.

I just finished mounting my hella 500s today. I did not use a bracket. I just screwed the existing mounting system into the windshield with one of the windshield screws. It works great and I did not have to spend money on a bracket.
