Mounted my 32 inch light bar today. I ended up using the PIAA mounts and mounted it in front of the front roll bar under the roof. Tried it out and really don't get any glare, but I don't have a windshield. It's a cheap Chinese one from Amazon with Epistar bulbs, but still HUGE improvement over anemic stock headlights.
I've got the EPS model and there's very little room under the hood, so I put a fusebox and common ground bar in the glove box with heavy wire to the battery. I'm using a relay for the light, and will probably mount a permanent switch on the flat panel by the glove box. Positive to relay is coming off the fuse box. Where is there a switched positive near that area that I can tie in to for the light switch? Is the cigarette lighter/accessory plug tied to the ignition or hot all the time?
Winch should get here tomorrow. Hope that goes faster than the light bar. The PIAA mounts were a PITA to one up and I stripped an allen head screw and had to make a trip to Tractor Supply. Picked up a metric bolt that would work, along with some terminals and a few other things. After waiting in line, I realized I had left my wallet at home. I scrounged up $1.40 in change from my truck to cover the packet of bolts and left the rest of the stuff with the cashier. Just not my day.
