Do they screw into the drip rail or clamp on?

They screw on just below the drip rail. 3 screws for each bracket.

most any light with a 7/16 or 1/2 stud would work.

What did you use for screws, and what do you plan for the wiring routing? Look real nice on there!

Thank's. By the way, how high is your garage door header? I think I should have built a bigger pole barn with higher access doors!

Re: Hickey windshield light brackets NEW

Thank's for the measurement on your header height. My pole barn also has a 8' header. I found some old pic's of these mounts. The brown K5 is what inspired my build. Mag is Four Wheeler from 1984. Other one is from a 4 Wheel&OffRoad mag from 1979. Hope the pic's turn out, been saving them for a long time. By the way, have you ever seen the shields under the lights?

Re: Hickey windshield light brackets NEW

Curios about the screws to use. #8 stainless self tapping. How long, 1" or ? Checked all my local stores and nothing available like that here. Found 1" sheet metal screws in stainless at our home depot with a pan head, seem a bit short? Could you use a 1" stainless self tapper with a screw head? Any advice here would be great. TTT FOR YA!
