    My @CBI Offroad Fab ditch light brackets have an R on the right one. I believe it is just to tell them apart.

    Where is the R located on the bracket? Is it right where you can see it stick out of the hood or is it on the base?

    Better question! Does the R look like this?

    Actually no. That is completely different. That looks machined out. Also, The holes look machined. CBI has a machined outter edge and then plasma cut holes and R and then bent to spec (I believe) Either way that is a completely different bracket.

    Cool then youve got the @CBI Offroad Fab brackets! I loved mine when I had them. As for the Rago R I believe its plasma cut but couldnt tell you about the holes. I can find out today and bring back the result

    I picked up a set of Rago ditch lights and the extender piece. Fitment with the hood was spot on however one of the holes wouldn't line up on the passengerside so I switched down to a smaller metric bolt and it bolted up fine. I have yet to wire it all up yet because I'm doing a custom setup with a Bussman etc but the brackets fit mint!
    Great customer service from them and fast shipping. They also included like 4 different iterations of their stickers haha.

    absolutely worth it. i got the 3x2 18W caliraisedled/rago deal from @CaliRaisedLed a while back. easy install with minor trimming, solid light output to supplement headlights/fogs. eventually will get a 30" stealth mount and turn the ditch mounted pods out for more side visibility. very minimal glare from the hood if any, but they do light the outer edges of the hood up. no sightline interference when driving, very happy with them.
