    We are very excited to announce that we are now offering a complete, out-of-the-box solution for ditch/pillar lights for 2016-2018 Toyota Tacomas! These will be full packages and will have everything you need, including the easy to install bolt-on/no-drill mounts, a huge variety of lights to fit your budget and need, and all the hardware and wiring you need. Our goal with this was to create solutions for everyone that takes the guesswork out of piecing together parts from various vendors. You can choose from a variety of lights and beam patterns to give you greater visibility out of your lighting at night.

    Ditch/pillar lights are a great auxiliary light for someone that is on a budget but still needs improved lighting, or for someone who already has lighting but needs more periphery fill in lights. When properly aimed, they will increase your field of view allowing you to see oncoming obstacles with enough time to properly navigate them and be fully aware.


    To see the link to these on our website, see below or click on any of the photos!

    Nice!! It looks awesome. Those G34s are such a great fit for ditch lights. I still want to do those on my own truck one of these days!

    Which Gravity lights? The Gravity lights is kind of an over-arching term/collection of the Pro6, the G4 fogs, and the G34s that you see on the ditch brackets. The G4s are available in amber, and the Pro6 lights have a snap-on amber cover. The G34s currently do not have an amber option.

    Those do not right now. But, you can go with the FLEX Duals in a spread beam and install our amber covers on those.

    I have the 4" LZR kit ordered, actually posted on the 2nd gen thread about these as well accidentally. I will be posting up pics as soon as they get installed. I have the gravity g4 amber fog lights already installed so I am thinking they will be looking good!
    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES I still need one of those hats man! (Referring to my accidental post on the second gen forum). Pics will follow within the next week or so hopefully!20181028_182435.jpg

    Awesome!! I'm definetly going to need photos of them when installed! As far as that hat goes, it's no longer unfortunately. We stopped making those and no longer have any in stock, but we are actually working on some other hat designs right now.

    I will definitely get some pictures posted up for you. Bummer on the hat, but I would be interested on the new ones for sure. Quick question is there room for the security nuts you guys sell on ditch brackets? (Space between the hood and bolt enough to get the nut fastened).

    Hm, I did not try. I have a set of the LKZ in the garage, let me look later today. I do know that you would have to install the lights onto the brackets first (the security socket is way too big to fit in between hood and bracket) AND THEN install the entire assembly onto the truck. That's why I didn't do it... I didn't have an extra pair of hands to help hold stuff and it would have been more difficult to do by myself while filming lol.

    That is what I was worried about, it would be hard to install them in that situation. I'll probably hold off on them unless I can figure something out. If you happen to try them out though keep me posted.

    Damn, that looks good! I love how it matches with all of the other black accents on your OR truck. Let me know how the aiming goes and if you need any help.

    Thanks man, I thought it turned out really good as well. Aiming was pretty easy I used my local walmart wall at night to adjust them lol. I do have a question though, the lights came with two round black pieces of plastic, any idea what they are for?15415171345165995612444437740036.jpg
