[QUOTE="nikhsub1, post: 2024080, member: 22952"] OK I got some Alternative Offroad brackets that mount to the hood hinge bolts. Super easy to install - the suggestion of doing one bolt at a time so the hood doesn't move is ********. Just outline the hinge on the bottom of the hood with a pencil. Loosen both bolts, the hood will only slide down like 1/4" or so. Put the bracket in, now with one hand move the hood up to the scribed line, tighten hood. Easy. One thing I do notice is that these mounts have a bit of flex in them so the lights jitter around more. I'm leaving my SDHQ mounts on for now, just in case I decide to switch back. The Alt Offroad brackets sit much more forward than the SDHQ ones do but they are MUCH more out of the way. No antenna or wipers to contend with. Here are a couple of pics, note the position of the SDHQ vs the Alt Offroad. At least now the lights are symmetrical, not one further out than the other.
