Ditch light brackets/mounts?

picked up some LEDs, want to mount them up on the hood corners by the windsheild.. i see CBI has some mounts, any other options out there?

I think that's the cheapest I've found when I was looking too. I went a different route. I bought two of these just to see if it would work, and it does just fine for me. Just took off the antenna mount and used countersunk bolts as they will be installed upside down. Was pretty damn easy to install on the hood lip. And it comes with a little rubber pad to put in between the mount and the hood to prevent scratches. Pretty sturdy too! Only thing is they are inset quite a bit versus actual ditch lights. And how I have them is about as far out as you can mount them on the hood. Plus they aren't PERFECTLY level horizontally due to the slight curvature of the hood but you cant hardly tell, and those little square pods you wont tell at all I'm sure. But check your hood and see if it has the small flat spot on the backside like mine does first, if you consider this, or if anyone else does...
Paid about $25 total for both plus the two extra little bolts/nuts I got. So $26/$27. Not the most practical spot for them, but I like it. And cheaper than $64 from cbi after shipping. (And these were just extra lights I had lying around and decided to do it just for fun. I'll be replacing them eventually with some 4.5" round led cannons and getting the cbi mounts for them bad boys. Hell maybe just leave these on too, why not!)

Mount on ebay:

 

Damn that's a good idea.. how sturdy are they? Do the lights shake a lot when u offroad?

 

Really sturdy. No shaking at all. It probly won't work so well for the bigger light cannons though.

 

if those mounts weren't in the UK i would have tried them, but i need them for this weekend so i ordered some CBI brackets overnight.. surprising that they are the only company making them..

 

Relentless Fab has them also. I like theres over CBI because there a little more low profile.

 

Cool cool. Throw up some pics after install for us

 

Somebody please tell me how to order ditch mounts please. I'm a new member totally lost, that's what I want. This what I ordered

 

maverick33 - that looks like what you want - I've been really happy with mine.

 

Forgot about this thread. I got mine installed too with the 4.5" cannons. Was a little tricky installing them as the fender didn't wanna pull out enough but got it. Will also make a note, that with bigger lights such as mine, the bracket does seem to vibrate/wobble quite a bit at least on nasty washboard dirt roads. I think they could've added an extra support gusset on the underside, but its not a big deal. For $50 can't complain!

 

Select no lights/no switch(unless you want the switch). Done

And the installation instructions are on that same page.

 

here mine cbi mounts,

 

How much trimming did you have to do?

 

Very little. Just a small section on the edges of that plastic rain gutter/shield. It shows it in the instructions. I'll take a pic later.

 

these mounts have better build quality than any LED roof mounts I have seen and are half the price..

 

Pic doesn't work..
