Ditch Light Bracket Install

I can't find instructions on the website on how to install these, and no instructions came with the package.

I know there is a trick to it, but

 

They're super simple.
Pop your hood open, determine the correct bracket for each side. Passenger side looks kind of like a 'd' and driver like a 'b' with the mounting ears off to the side and the bends of the bracket upward.
Loosen a hood hinge bolt, slip the bracket in place and start the bolt again in the threaded hole on the hood, next loosen the 2nd bolt and pivot the bracket over until the second hole lines up, thread the second bolt. The hood may try to shift out of alignment, try to keep it where it was to make sure hood/fender/grille gaps are all still the same. When aligned tighten the 2 bolts and then repeat install on the opposite side of bracket. Lower your hood and attach your lights to the brackets, lift the hood back up to do your wiring on your lights and DONE.

 

Upper bolt or bottom bolt first?

Thanks for your quick reply!

 

I think with the ditch bracket the lower 1st, with the CB bracket the upper IIRC

 

I think that I read that somewhere too. Here goes....

Thanks!

EDIT:

 

Can these fit with a snorkel and 2x2 pods?

 

I can't get the hood hinge bolts loose, mine are extremely tight.

 

You may need to pick up some penetrating oil like Blaster Penetrating Oil or Kano Aerokroil Penetrating Oil. Apply some and let it sit for a bit. These oils will generally help most any project.

Thanks man. Do you know the size of these bolts? Mine is a bit stripped now I don't think it will go back on. Thanks again

 

I don't know the specs on it but this should be the part you are looking for. Unfortunately, it doesn't indicate size information on it. If it did I'm sure you can also find it in the fastener aisle of your nearest Ace Hardware for about $0.50.
