    lighting mounting I agree and that is where they are right now but I thought that they would be better protected by placing them just inboard of the turn signals as the Wrecker-Only lights are mounted. I have them centered on the outboard vertical bar of the grill and they look good but seem to...

    Light mounting bracket

    I was wondering if anyone had a mounting bracket for a front light for the wrecker-only application used on the left front fender.

    For Louisiana M/V owners

    Newbie GL question
