    Looking to buy some ditch light brackets. Leaning towards the caliraised but interested In the rago and sdhq

    looking for a low profile , easy to mount and don’t have to cut anything

    the rago seems to have mixed reviews if you need to cut. The sdhq are low and out of way. Any other reason they are twice as expensive land I’m missing it?

    thanks

    I’m using the caliraised and they’re great. Install was easy, they look good, and they’re about 3 years in with no signs of wear

    Another vote for CaliRaised. No experience with the others but no complaints with the CR. I did the brackets, harness and lights 2-3 yrs ago, holding up in the Northeast fine.

    Are these the regular or low profile? Post after your looks like low profile. Could just be angles

    I’m pretty sure it’s the low profile I don’t know that they have another option. You can mount the lights in afew positions on the bracket that comes with the lights.

    Reviving this thread from the dead. I have the Cali raised lo profile. They are fine, but I feel like they are so low that a lot of light is being blocked by my hood. They look fine, just wish they didn’t block so much light. Anyone use a taller ditch mount? Curious what other options there are.

    You don’t get much blockage from the fenders?

    no I don’t get much blockage from my fenders. There is alittle light shine on them but not much. My ditch mounts are the higher profile mounts and I have my ditch light angled to the side a bit, but all in all I love my set up.
