Default Mopar light brackets?

I was just looking at the Mopar website and there are 2 different windshield light brackets. One for $94 and the other for $88. Can somebody tell me the difference? By the way, are there any other aftermarket brackets that sit out to the side as far as the Mopar brackets that aren't as expensive?
Thanks

Picked up mine for $20. Mine are so far out they hit the antenna. I would think they need to be back in some. O'well the brakets where cheap...

An easy fix for the antenna hitting the light. Mind you Mopar provides a bracket to hold the antenna back but it is CHEESY.

With 6" KC'S on Mopar bracket

With 8' KC' on Mopar bracket

6" front view

8" front view

It may be...lol...I can't remember but it only uses 2 stock bolt holes and looks the same as your pic. The antenna hold down looks like it bends it back to hold it. Looks crazy but I hate that noise of the antenna slapping the lights... . Thank you though I may have to buy it.

Simply use a cable tie to hold the antenna tight to the light or bracket.

On this thread many pics and posts of windshield lights - and comparisons of KC up & in style, or Mopar down & out. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...t=14166&page=5

I found the Mopar brackets for $76 from http://www.wyckoffchryslerparts.com/20wroflimobr.html
