Mounting options include (depends on year, make and model of vehicle, see
product description for specific mounting location):
Post mount spotlights are the most common installation options, with the
mounting going through the A-pillar running alongside the windshield. The
A-pillar is the metal frame on the side of the windshield.
Inside post mount spotlights are common in late model vehicles, but the
installation requires more time as one must drill through the A-pillar and cut a
small notch in the forward window support of the door. Both inside post mount
lights and post mount lights are mounted in the A-pillar. The difference is the
angle of the light.
Door mount lights are mounted in the door. The door mount spotlight is an
easy installation but the spotlight will move with the door when the door is
opened and closed. While this isn’t suitable for most police patrol cars, most
other operators find the door mount acceptable. In many cases, a particular make
and model vehicle will not have a post mount spotlight option because the
A-pillar is too small, but usually these vehicles have a door mount and a inside
post mount option. Please click on the link below to see pictures of
the different mounting positions.
