Default Which windshield mount for KC slimlight?

It seems that there isn't once mounting bracket that everyone likes.

I am looking for the cleanest install and would like the lights out of my way.

Seems like the Mopar bracket is crazy expensive, but keeps the lights out of the way.

KC good price, but makes the lights a little more in your view.

Input would be helpful as this is going on a bone stock Sahara and don't want the lights to stick out.

I just want to be able to give that Jerk driver a little extra light to know that I care about him.

Thanks

Had the KC brackets installed...Lights were up to high and most important
for me the windsheild wipers would not fully extend cause of light...
which meant for us winter guys pain...Installed the Mopar ones they sit
lower and out of the way...

With the Mopar did your antenna hit the lights?

Good to know about the windshield wipers for snow... How much did the Mopar one's cost???

How are the brackets for rust???? Thinking of rhinolining them before mounting to give them some extra protection from salt and rocks.

I have some of the Smittys coming to me. I really like their price and the way the lights sit lower and out a bit.

Sorry I don't have any pictures(pictures not on the laptop) but I have the Mopar brackets with KC 130w long range lights and are very happy with them as they down and out of the way. The Smittybilit ones are the same design and less cost. Win Win.
