    In your opinion what are the best ditch lights for a good price?

    In all honesty not looking to spend upward of $100 on ditch lights, anyone have any good experiences with semi affordable ditch lights?

    Just for clarification:

    Does the $100 include the cost of the brackets?

    Yes 100 is the combo deal, bracket, pods. Just need to add wiring harness for 10 extra.

    You can find specialty bolts with keys to make sure nobody can take them

    Or red loctite, silicone on the bolt heads....

    Either way your just keeping honest people honest...a theif wont stop at a bolt. Security bolts are usually just torx heads arent they? Could probably cut the bracket faster than unbolting it faster

    The lights are referenced as plural, so I think they come as a pair, and if it's 2 brackets I would hope logic would apply and the lights would be as well.
    I never like the light options offered so I just buy brackets and use the lights I really want.
