Picked up a pair of the IR driving lights to add to the Deuce. Looking at the mounting locations/options raised a few questions though.
Option 1: Mounted on the fender using modified turn signal mounts/guards as shown below. This is the cleanest but since I have a winch truck it seems that the bumper (being extended for the winch) will cause a very large cutoff area ahead of the truck with most of the light hitting the back side of the bumper. If you are running using night vision you won't be going very fast and really need to be able to see up close to the front of the truck.
Option 2: Above or below the bumper. Above the bumper mounted to the reinforcement plate by the shackles could interfere with the headlights. Below the bumper opens the lights up to increased damage potential.
Option 3: Light bar above the cab. I could see this option really lighting up the hood and fenders thus lowering the ability to see ahead of you with NV.
Thoughts?
