Just came into possession of some Rigid D-SRS PRO cubes and looking for some advice on A-Pillar mounting. I like the Baja designs brackets but I think they are only sold with the lights in kit form. SDHQ has brackets that require some modifications to the plastic cowling. Zroadz brackets attach to the hood hinges.
Any thoughts, other options?
Appreciate the help

I’ve got the SDHQ brackets and I really like it. You do have to trim a little plastic but you’ll never notice your work after it’s done. Brackets are solid!!!

That looks great. Any issues with clearances with the hood open, looks tight. Did you have to trim plastic on both sides, how much and what did you use?
Thanks again for the great pics.

Thanks, those brackets are similar to the ZROADZ solution, hood attachment as opposed to the SDHQ fender attachment. Curious if the hood attachment affected by vibration (some PW owners complain of hood movement at speed) or the need to leave more slack in the wiring for the opening and closing of the hood.
I did like those lights with the ability to swap between different lens colors and they had very low profile comjpared to other light set-ups I've seen.

No issues with clearance. I used razor I trimmed a slot on each side.

Thanks, saw a youtube video that led me to believe there was more surgery involved. Got cold feet and ordered the ZROADZ product from Amazon because of the 2-day shipping hoping to do an install this weekend. Surprise! I received a set of brackets in a plain box absent the manufacturers literature/warantee, the finish on the brackets wasn't good for the price, no ZROADZ logo engraved and a xerox page copy of install instructions not the several page version on the website. I'm guessing it's the Ebay version knockoff. Amazon is sending a replacement but not in time for this weekend. If it's the same thing I will be returning again and either order direct or give SDHQ another look.
Thanks again for the insight.
