If you get the windshield brackets that are from HIDx they come with a sperate bracket for the antenna so that the lights and the antenna dont touch. I didnt use the bracket because Im running one of the short antennas from Antenna X, and it does touch the light but its not an issue for me .

Thanks Troy! I just emailed you regarding the order, and it comes with antenna relocation brackets so no worries there!
I'll get this out for you today

Glare off the hood? "Yes". Is the glare tolerable? "Yes" interfere with sight when driving, "Not at all!" Just make sure you get the HIDx windshield brackets any other bracket will suck....

These will pull a lot less power than standard KC's and get you more light.. They will be brighter than the Dually or D2's but a little bigger if you go with the 4". And on top of that all a lot cheaper!

I have a Rigid 10" light bar and the way i see it is like this. The rigid give off a nice light pattern but its shoots a lot of the light up (vertically) where as the HIDx lights has wider (horizontal) light pattern.
