    These are good for the 2012-15 hoods too?

    I had an earlier set, there was a lot of glare off the hood, I replaced the bolt to the LED light I was using to a longer one and stacked washers between the mount & the light to raise it until the glare was OK, but not gone.
    I didn't want to tilt the lights to far upwards and the washers kept the light level as it was mounted higher.
    I don't remember if I was using spot or flood lights

    I have dually spots and the glare isn't bad. It lights up the hood but it isn't reflecting back at me

    I have dually spots and theres not really a glare. I would think glare would be pretty bad with floods though

    Yea thanks for the input... Maybe I'd be better off mounting them Behind the grill?

    Oh, BTW I just got new headlights for free cause of the warranty update Toyota sent out. I'd recommend everybody get that done!

    I used the rigid spots also on mine, angled towards the sides not much glare off the hood

    I was thinking the same, with the headlights facing forward and the rigid s pointing slightly to right and left I'll have excellent illumination
