I ended up with the Alternative Off-road mounts with XL80 clear drivers from
@4x4TruckLEDs.com. Can’t say enough good things about Adam at 4x4 LEDs, put up with some back and fourth from me and a few stupid questions now that I look back at it. Plan on plenty more lights down the road.
For the mounts I am happy with the Alternatives but one day I would like to try the SDHQ to suck the lights closer up into the shield. They are backordered EVERYWHERE! Two complaints I had with the mounts was; they were really close to the back edge of my hood and I had to loosen and tighten one bolt at a time a few times to get the mounts fully seated.
My remedy for how close the mount was to just split some small diameter black fuel line I bought at the hardware store.
Hindsight I would of given the slots a very small radius at the ends to help slide onto my hood easier.
