Best ditch light brackets?

[zimm]

I have an extra set of Baja Designs Squadron Sports after doing some Jeep modifications. I want to mount them on the Tremor- who makes the best brackets?

Dang those are pricey but look like the best. Order placed.

The BD one is really good for the F150.

I have the Rigid ones because they came with my DSS-pro kit and they are also very solid.

Thanks for the SDHQ bracket recommendation. They are beefy! I installed them today and they look great.

That looks great, I've been contemplating getting some Baja Designs LP4 Pros or do you have any other recommendations?

I was going to put LP4's on my Jeep A-pillar brackets and I emailed Baja Designs about a recommendation. They did not recommend the LP4's in that spot because of the side shooting LEDs. Instead I went with full size squadron XL sports.

I already had these smaller squadron sports sitting in my parts bucket so I put them on the Tremor.

As someone who is in the early stages of putting ditch lights on, this is excellent information, as I was thinking of LP4’s as well.

I can’t vouch for how well they work, but they make covers for the side lights on the LP4s that were recommended to me.

Why spend $875 on the LP4's and then even more money to cover up the side shooting LEDs when you can get the Squadron XL's for half the price and no side shooting beams or back lighting.

Do these kinds of lights and mounts whistle at speed?

Good question. Haven't driven it yet. I'll know tomorrow.

SDHQ’s are rock solid. You’ll love them. I opted for the new Novsight Halo 3’s as a backlit signature light in amber to match the F150LED Side Vent Lights & Raptor Grill Lights. Came out great.

SDHQ also has the Raptor Bumper Mounts for the bolts that are already in the Tremor Bumper too. I’m waiting for that bracket to add a couple more lights to the bumper.

Look great!

Do you have any pictures of where it mounts to? I see there are two mounting spots/supports and I'm confused about it.
thanks.

ah, found their instructions.

Yeah they basically use a 13mm fender bolt and there's a smaller 10mm one under the rubber cowl cover that a little 90 degree reinforcement bracket goes on to stiffen it up.

As for whistle- nothing on the highway at 70-78mph. However with the windows down doing 50-60mph there's a little bit of whistle. I'm going try slapping some gorilla tape on various spots and see if I can eliminate it. Maybe it's a nut on the bracket, or the light itself. Not sure.
