Default Clearance LED Lights

Has anyone ever thought about putting these 3/4" LED's above their windshield to resemble cab lights (like a F250 has)?


Is there a gap behind the metal above the windshield to wire them? I had a few pairs of these lights left over from another mod and just trying to think of some ideas for them. I am thinking of trying to achieve something like this, only with these flush mount LEDS (they are nice and small and wouldn't look to outta place):


Let me know what you think! (If they would look stupid let me know, or if you think it would look good, then let me know that too!)

I guess I wonder why I'd wanna.
I can't see a way. But I'm blind, according to my wife.

You probably would need to install them to the windsheild frame, but that isn't the highest point of my Jeep so I don't think it would do me much good.

it would make your jeep unique to say the least. but if they are bright enough how about wiring them into a wheel light for night wheelin. make it so they only come on when a second switch is activated after the running lights are turned on.

Must be for the bling bling effect. I'd hook them on a tree branch if I tried them.

i have thought about doing something like that but then it would remind people of the hummer... dont want that. i would like it either way. if you do decide to do it, just dont buy this.

the original purpose was for real tractor trucks
semi trucks
lights above the cab were required cause the distance from the windshield to the lights where so great....that when the trucks came over a knowl and on coming cars had high beams on they would see the lights and dim the high beams cause the clearance lights indicated the top of the windsheild so the truck drivers would not be blinded.

that's my story or reasoning to them to exist

cause i highly doubt that a truck driver will pull up to a 12ft under pass and hop out to check to see if the lights on the rig or the trailer will clear the overhead structure.
