I'm curious how much clearance they actually have. The main reason DL brackets are hood mounted is so when you open the hood then the light moves with the hood instead of in the way of said hood. I didn't see any specifications but I'd assume there would be size or shape restrictions with those fixed mounted lights.

Good point! Yeah wouldn't want the hood banging into the lights!

mine are "hood mounted" but it's right at the edge...

as mentioned, this ensures when the hood lifts up, the light do too, which I think is a big reason they're done this way.

zero regrets on either. You can spend more, sure, but these seem fine :)

I just saw these. They look nice. Uses one bolt and then double sided tape. Are you using them?
No im not. Was looking at options to run a double ditch light setup and came across them. I may try them out.
