Outlaw hood mount lights

AHHH... didn't think about that one.

Truthfully I didn't either. Connor mentioned it and I had that same 'AHHH' moment myself.

we are running the Vision X HID45002 - 5" HID light in a Spot pattern. Same light in the pic you posted. it has a streamline housing so its actually smaller overall then most 4" lights! These are the best we have found out of the 6 or so sets we tried

Whatever light you decide, make sure it is a spot beam, i can not stress that enough.

I can't wait to see them, I want to get this one with the pencil beams. Gettin old, need more light!!!!

I've updated my Hood Mount thread with some pics from inside the cab with the lights on. Not bad! I still think they look too big up there, but from a functional perspective these things pretty much kick ass.

I chose a cornering light. My hood is Matte Black and doesn't reflect any light back at me - at all. The bigger the light the better the output. I chose a Cibie - Cornering Lens with 35 watt HIDs.

Remember, BIGGER is BETTER....

On the to do list

Do these affect the opening of the hood at all?

See the thread linked too earlier for pics of my particular setup and hood clearance. But basically, if you do it right and choose appropriate lights, there won't be any hood clearance issues.

Good to know the Tuxedo Raptors, or possibly even those with hood graphics/wraps, wont see too much reflection from the hood. I'd love to have the Vision X's, but good lord, $350 a light?!!! I've got a 7 month old to raise... guess it'll be the $200 Optilux 4" HID kit for me!
