    I am wanting to run ditch lights and have a safari snorkel. Does anyone know whose brackets will work without interference with the snorkel? Or is this a non issue? I'm wanting to run some 6.5" bars off Amazon.

    Not sure which brackets your using but those lights will probably end up in you field of view?
    At least this post may bump more knowledgeable members to answer your actual question.

    I was curious too and googled "Toyota Tacoma with ditch lights" on image and came up with several. Looks pretty doable and will probably go with the CBI product since they are the most popular and used so there is the most experience....odd that I hit this thread the night after I was looking at this very thing!! upload_2016-12-1_21-15-41.jpg

    Curiosity got the better of me and.....

    I went with CBI mounting brackets and Rigid Duallys -- the place that did the install (I'm not known to be a DIY guy) said that they had to drill an additional hole in the bracket to keep from the ditch light bracket rubbing on the snorkel and possibly rubbing a hole in it. I am VERY happy with the lights and the install -- truck is coming along but thought I would throw this in here.....Happy Wheeling!!!

    I know it's an old thread but I'm in the same boat. I have a snorkel and want ditch lights. Do you have to have a pic of where the extra hole had to be drilled?
