    What's everyone's favorite ditch light and why?

    Who makes the brightest light?

    Stuck on the BD, cali raised or rigid.

    Not looking for a specific beam pattern but more of the brightest output per dollar spent.

    if i remember right, i bought either that one or my reverse light, before becoming a dealer. once i had them in my hands, they were the best light i have seen. they arnt cheap, but they are amazing. I was also a huge fan of the low profile they have. I have had 40+ different types of china/ridged lights and these just far ahead of all of them.

    Wide40 beam if you want *some* forward or upward light, or in their DOT fog beam if you want to light up literally just the ditches below/beside you.

    Side Shooters....those 3 LEDs on either side are the trick. I have some knock off ones, and absolutely love them.

    The Baja s2 pro. Very low profile and crazy bright for such a small package.

    Are the s2 Baja adjustable within the lense for direction coverage or do they need to have a bracket? I really like them in the mirrors but would be limited if not able to adjust light pattern.

    they are a fixed beam. you can swap out lenses but that will only help out so much. from the angle they would still make a good ditch light.
