Good to know guys.

What was supposed to be a winter project last year on the B was postponed because I flip-flopped on the lighting I was going to buy for the cowl. Here I am ready to pull the trigger on the Tridiums but based on this feedback I find myself re thinking this decision as well.

I want to see and be seen with a light kit in the cowl.

For purely esthetic reasons I don't want spots hanging off the frame or under the signals. Based on what Vstar wrote about the low position factor I may have to compromise on the amount of light thrown by any cowl mounted kit.
Bummer.
