    I can hook up a light to that thanks. My CB antenna is on the drivers (relentless mount) thought i would stick a light on the ditch side to even things out a bit

    How is space for the hood opening? It looks like it would smack right into the light.

    Have mine on now. Used RAM mounting stuff so that I can pull them off quickly when not in use. CBI brackets fit very well, with lots of clearance. Really beefy too.

    Anyone have any issues with the cops regarding the use of these ditch lights? Are they strictly offroaf use only? Has anyone used them on the highway / freeway?

    Yes Bob from TCT magazine has them installed with his snorkel. The snorkel does limit the ability to aim the light to the side of the vehicle however. I would imagine that not all snorkels will allow the light to mount up so you may want to do a visual check before purchasing our light brackets or the snorkel, whichever comes first!

    I got pulled over for my relentless cb ant mount here in maine cop said it was "impairing my visibility" falls under front windshield obstruction. No ticket i think he just wanted to see what I was up to, but something to think about if you like to enjoy a road soda from time to time.

    Already have the snorkel, (I'm an Airflow Dealer) so I'll have to mess with it. Would like to put the Q4 lights up there instead of duallys, but I think if its close with duallys those will be too big.

    Snorkel might get in the way of the light beam itself. Not sure since i dont have the snorkel but seeing some pics of other snorkels, it seems that there might be some issue. I point My LED's angled away from the Headlight beams.

    I know plenty of people that do, whether they admit it or not. This is not an issue for me i would rather buy mods and drive than to pay fines and walk.
