    If you lived closer I would do it. They are easy to install.

    Just slapped some s1's onto the fender. Super low profile, sleeker, light contours to the A pillar, zero hood glare since they are far out/slightly lower than the hood, and you cant see them from inside the cab.

    I might put on a snorkel in the future, that looks like that would be in the way.

    I got the caliraised bracket just because they seemed popular.

    Funny because every time I saw a taco with ditch lights I’d ask about the bracket install and most either didn’t do it or couldn’t recall.

    For me they were a pita to put on solo because the underside of the hood has contours and the hood arms have a lip that won’t allow you to do one bolt at a time (swinging it in place).

    It was definitely sketchy trying to hold the hold in place and get the brackets situated while pushing up the mount.

    Would the Cali Raised Ditch brackets work on the Diode Dynamics SS3 MAX ditch lights for the 2nd gen Tacoma?

    I'm trying to mount a set of Baja Designs Squadron ditch lights. My question is in regards to how to run the wire from the back of the light, as to not get pinched by the hood. Pics would be appreciated. Thanks TW
