    They are $89 per, $178 for a pair, plus shipping. No covers, but option of color.
    I've looked into it. It's not possible without cutting into the cowl. There is 0 tolerance.

    Finally got my brackets installed today, they've been sitting for a few weeks. I didn't take any pics and I need to aim them better but damn the brackets are sweet, beefy as hell, the light doesn't shake any and it's about a 5 minute install minus the wiring. I'll get some pics as soon as I aim them. :cheers:

    Painted, Installed in about 3 minutes and lights mounted. tore a portion of my hair out wiring the lights in... but hey! I am very bright
    Awsome mounts. hightly recommended.

    Also... the flagpole/cb antenna mount looks pretty sweet idea for a possible reverse light.

    Like how those look from the front the way they line up next to the side mirrors. Cool mid high mounting point for extra lighting.

    Picked up my brackets today at the Post Office. I took them staight down to the powder coat shop for coating. Waiting for my D2's right now. Won't be long. I think I am going to like these for Moose lights. VERY happy with the way the brackets look and thanks for the speedy service.
