    Do you have a pick of how you ran the cables from the lights under the hood? Thanks

    Sorry how you routed it from the back of the light to under the hood.

    Do you get any light bounce with the XLs and SDHQ brackets? I've got XL80s with Cali-raised brackets and they bounce pretty noticably. I'm swapping to XL Lasers so I'd like to get the most stable bracket possible for solid long range projection. Thanks in advance.

    I went with the RAGO low profile ones and let me tell you they are OUTSTANDING! Simply seamless install on the '19 OR I have.

    Customer support is incredible and will definitely do business with them in the future. I didn't know they were a Veteran owned small business until after my purchase but 110% they will have my business from now on!

    BONUS: got some root beer candies in the package as well!

    Security bolts....but if criminals want anything on your truck bad enough they can either cut it off or steal the whole truck.

    These KC Hilites c3s are garbage. Throw very little light. Cali Raised brackets were solid. Zero complaints about CR.20191031_212504_HDR.jpg

    Also KC Hilites doesn't have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so they dont stand behind their stuff like Baja Designs. Buyer beware. Shoulda bought Squadrons. KC wouldn't take it back after 1 day of use even in original box. You can hardly tell the c3 floods are on. Their c series bar is decent.

    I can’t find the exact maker from the pictures provided. However it looks like these eBay ones. Comparing the angle out of the hood area and the design. Just a heads up it doesn’t specify the years this design supports. https://www.ebay.com/i/193148711418?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=193148711418&targetid=541454149892&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9031988&poi=&campaignid=6470544939&mkgroupid=81274457887&rlsatarget=aud-622027676548%3Apla-541454149892&abcId=1139336&merchantid=112034789&gclid=CjwKCAiAzanuBRAZEiwA5yf4uvFcUC5zHEDbg9rp1VnRX5yXjD0CJW7UqV1VBHvW3u_A7CwrXov5-xoC528QAvD_BwE

    Thank you! They're cheap enough that I may try them out. If they are the ones I posted a pic of, they are the lowest profile that I've seen out there. Personally not a fan of them sticking up super high (understanding light splash can be an issue, but not so much if facing 45deg outboard).

    Yeah that’s a fairly common dislike. The lower and more out of the way the better.
