the slit in the bracket may not be necessary, as the plastic on the hood interferes with the initial slope up thats underneath the mounting tabs. If you need mounted pics, PM me and ill get your number and text you a bunch of pictures of them mounted.
I'll send ya a message. I made about 10 cardboard templates before I got one that worked then modeled the mount off that but I could be missing something.
Well I've only had them on since noon today and went for about a 10 minute drive with them tonight and so far they work pretty good. Not near as bright as the rigid d2 driving that I had there before but still put out plenty of light and are legal. Once I get the rigids mounted I'm going to see if I can run those with my high beams. I also have a stack of other LEDs that I am going to try to put somewhere.
Kind of like me. Now that we are again at the point where we have almost 18-20 hours of daylight, I won't have much of an opportunity to really use my fogs.
As for wiring in the high beams, it's possible with ours, but a little difficult. You'll find that the wire is very flimsy (22G?). I have it all pulled from the headlight and then back into the cab where I share the feed for the high beams across all of my switches.

Knowing this I'll just run them off my switch inside unless i get bored on a weekend and think I need that.

When I had my first 20" SR installed they wired it all through the high beams, so technically, someone else did most of the work for me. Now I've just expanded/modified what they did the first time. Now I wouldn't have it any other way.

Going to send out the order for the hood brackets on Tuesday when I get to work. Hopefully get those in my hand by late Wednesday or Thursday to try for the weekend. I figure I'll just get them bare steel until I know they work then order some powder coated ones. Then on to making a bracket for my light bar.
Ran the wires for the hood lights tonight. Each bracket will be $9.72 powder coated and delivered so I can't complain about that. I also got bored and decided my bicycle needed some leds. A drill battery, some wire and a little luck later and I can night ride. It should work.
I'd heard that if you wrap the ac lines in water pipe insulation it'll help cool better. For $1.80 I figured I couldn't go wrong. Hopefully it helps a little.
