Always wanted hood/ditch lights now that I have a truck I actually like I did them. They are all wired up just need to adjust them later tonight. The brackets are from zroadz and I went with the baja designs squadron pro's with the driving combo beam. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks like you did a nice job on the instal, but what would you use them for?

If I saw you coming down the road I'd think you were a cop, so there's a plus! LOL....

Any aftermarket AUX light is meant to be used off road or while other vehicles are on the road so you would never see these from me while driving towards you. I hunt and like a lightbar these help light up the dark roads when driving to hunt for the day. Also wanted to do these before the lightbar since I was a simple mount and install. In the offroad world that spot is your ditch lights meant to illuminate your sides and forward to watch for ditches.

Oh ya that makes sense, I wasn't really thinking about the off road aspect.

I was merely thinking how cool it looked going down the road (lights off), and people think you were a cop. Where I live they have started using Ram's as police vehicles now.

I came from a TRD off road tacamo and you should see the lighting that people really do for legit off roading. Finally in a truck I like so even if it's not going off road i still wanted to add those little touches.

did the hood shift any when you loosen the bolts?
Driver side none passenger side did but you can line it back up pretty fast since you can see where the paint line is.

does the hood open normally without hitting lights? and if possible could you post a pic of under the hood what the bracket looks like ?

Awesome, the install of the brackets was pretty smooth. Did you decide what lights you are going to do?

I'm interested in how you tinted your fog lights. Paint? Covers? Bulbs?
