Ideas for Camping side lights?

No rack or awning. I camp often and having sidelights are always a big advantage for me. My 4Runner had a rack and light on all sides.

 

classy!! I like that

 

And helps keep the mosquitoes away if you use citronella oil. I've got a pair I used to carry during the summer when I'd go to VW camp-outs.


I've got some low profile LEDs I keep meaning to put on my Yakima tracks but never seem to get around to the wiring part. Yep, pure laziness.

 

That's actually a pretty slick idea. I had a similar idea with my BD lights on some sort of spring loaded ratcheting mount. pull , rotate, release to get it where you want.

 

Buy one if these and just throw it under the truck. Your camp neighbor will thank you . They are weather proof, and so far drop proof. We use the red light mode all the time too

I just bought some 1" x 7" LED light bars from a company called Arsenal. The lights were $25 each, $25 for a wiring harness and about $25 for the super sweet Sasquatch switch. Each light has 1,200 lumens. They are pretty bright, but I think I'm gonna add a second set next to each other. The fit was pretty tight but I didn't have to drill anything, just made a small L Bracket for them to fit and ran the wires under the Prinsu cross members for the most part. Looks clean and gave me the illumination needed for those nighttime trail runs. Hope this helps!

 

just to add, they do lightly touch the roof so the angle is as far down as possible but it works for what I need it to do! rock lights help too
