Anyone ever use one of these brackets for the cobra dash lights? How is it intended to mount to the headliner? Any pictures of one installed with this bracket would be helpful.
Headliner Bracket

Its the feniex headliner bracket. They only make one headliner bracket for the cobra dash lights.
I want to do the exact same thing, however the new series of dash lights don't have any mounting screws on the rear. I talked with FEVER about it, and I think I'm going to remove the suction cups, bend the brackets a little and add double sided tape to them instead to stick it to the windshield. I wish they had a headliner bracket for them.Its the feniex headliner bracket. They only make one headliner bracket for the cobra dash lights.
This is exactly what I did. Removed the suction cups, drill out the screws that were holding the suction cups on. File that section down after drilling so it's not sharp. I used a 4x4 to hit the bracket with to bend/straighten it. Then hit it with some black spray paint. Used the 20 pound 3m double sided tape and now I have to figure out how to ever get them off if I need to ever remove them lol. That tape works real well.
Do you have a picture by chance? I'm gonna order a couple 1x apollo's and want to see how high they fit.
Thanks
I used that bracket when I did the small install on my ex-wifes Civic... All I did was slide the bracket between the headliner and roof skin and there was enough pressure to keep it there without having to use any more hardware...

So it seems like this is supposed to be like the hanger trick but with this instead of the hanger? Or is it actually supposed to be mounted to something? There arent any instructions on this piece on their website. Also if anyone has pictures please post them here for everyone to see.
Their are no instructions for it because it's a universal bracket so mounting will be different for every vehicle. You could possibly use it like the coat hanger trick. I installed one on a charger and a couple on my own vehicle to hold a Cobra 600. I drop the headliner and use self taping screws to secure the bracket to the reinforcement piece. The piece I'm talking about is circled in the attached picture.

I figured it could be used like that, but usually they include holes for that. Just not sure what Feniex intended when they made it thats all. Thanks for posting pictures too.
