Quadratec has some brackets to mount fog lights up by the windshield. What brackets are the best to relocate the factory fog lights up to the windshield?

depends how far you are moving them. if you're moving the ones from the bumper, all the way up to the windshield, i'm assuming you're going to need longer wiring.

If I get the brackets, anyone up for helping the mechanically declined with the relocation?

i may be wrong, but isnt it bad to mount fog lights on the windshield? Ive heard stories of getting bad glare on the hood and such. Ive heard driving and long range lights should be used on the windshield not fog lights.

I am relocating them because every time I go wheeling I seem to make the fog lights aim more up or down.
Thanks for the feedback. What kind of lights are better for the windshield location?

I have IPF 960, kinda expensive but amazing lights. I would go with a KC long range or even a pro comp light if you are worring about money. Don't go with a fog light of a Hella 500 for up there. The glare will kill you.

The KC Long rang would be good, they are about $140 and they are great lights.

i would strongly suggest not putting fogs on the windshield hinges. when i first bought my KC slim lights i wired in one of the fogs and one of the kc's to see the difference. needless to say i was very glad i bought the kc long range lights.
on another note, you do know that your stock fogs have springs that set the light height and probably just need to be pushed back down by hand. or stop hitting things. ;D

My stock bumper is out of shape. That is why the lights are aimed wrong. I am hopefully going to replace the bumper this summer but for now I just want to put some lights by the windshield and save the fog lights for when I get a new bumper.

i have the kc brackets and so far they haven't rusted. i also have the hella 500 driving lights mounted on there, not the fog version and for how cheap they were i would def recommend them.
