    Really would like a pair before that trip.

    DWreck, please correct me if I'm wrong - the price is now $80 for this current GB?

    After doing a little research on the Rigid Industry website, it's "plug and play" where power & ground wires are connected directly to battery. This is not a clean presentation, and I am picky about these things. Does anyone have a better idea for a cleaner install? I am considering tapping into the fog light wiring; so that when I engage my fog light switch, both fog lights and hood bracket lights come on. This will be my first time wiring up an aftermarket project.

    Can someone explain the difference between these hinge mounts and the ones on the Famous Fab website that are for sale?

    To me it looks like the ones offered here sit a little higher? Is there any clearance issues with the other mounts on the website when opening the hood?

    Thanks,
    Evan

    I believe that dwreck said in an earlier thread that these will not work on the 1st gens due to some hood clearance issues.

    Anyone mount a set of d2 on these? I have set of d2 clones with a light bar in front but my light bar is going behind the grill so I'm left with the d2s. I'm switching setups due to vibrations anyone have issues with this as well?

    Unknown. I no longer deal with any manufacturers. I personally have yellow lens on my 30". I feel it does hinder the light output.
