Ditch Lights

Hi everyone. I know there are threads on this already but, here is what I'm wanting to know...

1. What are the sleekest, smallest/low profile ditch lights it there?

2. What is the best way to install switch in cab? In a way that would look the most "factory".

LOL this truck is my baby and want the absolute best for her.

 

Baja Designs S2 are very small paired with the rago fab lo-profile ditch light brackets. Also they have a switch that mounts into the blank switch spot on the left side of cubby on the driver side.

 

Baja designs S2 will be the smallest option, if you have a blank you can remove it and add a ditch light oem style button.

 

Ok, im digging the baja design s2's. Oneup714, what mounting bracket is that in the pic?

 

You can also look at the Rigid Industries Ignite Pods, they have a couple mounting options such as flush or surface as well as different lenses such as diffused, flood, spot etc. I had them mounted as ditch lights but decided I'd use them more if mounted on the underside of my Yakima Overhaul HD rack facing backwards. I don't really off road so I get more use out of them as camping lights. I didn't wire them up before relocating them so I can't speak to their usefulness as ditch lights, keep in mind they sit quite low and because of that you won't get as much light down to the ground past the fenders, and they aren't side-shooters if you're wanting that option as well.

 

They are the low profile ones from Cali raised

 

Ok thanks oneup714.

Just to the right of my AUTO (hi-beam) light switch i have a black. Does anyone make a switch that fits that? So that i dont have to use my little cubby...

It should fit a 4x4 one

This will fit into that blank

 

That's where I put mine, got it on Amazon

 

Check out the new BajaDesigns S1 as well;

I run Squadrons, they are bright, they are controlled by CH4x4 switches;

 

Perfect! Thank you oneup714. I think im going to use that switch and even though they may not be as low profile as the baja design s2 i think i an going to go with all caliraised.

 

And thank you 44-16 Taco and vicali!

 

Not saying CaliRaised doesn’t make good product but it’s not in the same realm as the Baja Designs or Rigid options mentioned. If you want the best I would go with one of those. The BD lumen rating is much higher and worth the extra $ IMO if you want the best.

 

mhshark, gotcha...between Baja Design and Rigid, which ones would you recommend?

 

Without considering cost...

 

Well what I am going to invest in before next summer is what I would recommend! Baja S2 pro (2,450 lumens!) and Cali raised or Rago lo-pro mounts (I believe Rago option is stainless + powder coat so no rust but I haven’t really heard of the CR option rusting). Get a wiring harness and a CH4x4 switch (caliraised is the same so either or) and you’ll be set. I installed a light bar myself and it really was far easier than I expected.

 

Thank you mhshark

 

My suggestion would be Rago brackets with Baja S2.
